Stratified tank supplied by collector Loop and used for Zone Heating

Hey guys I am new to energyplus and need some help setting up my case. I want to simulate a stratified water heater which is supplied by a sollar collector loop. I want to use the water heater (storage tank) for heating purposes and am looking for about 60°C on the use side outlet.

I tried setting up a case on my own but it seems like the collectors aren't really heating up the water. The temperatures in the stratified water heater decrease throughout the year and are too low.

So my questions are: - Are there any good examples or tutorials for this kind of case? - Do you have any tips for setting up such a case?

My case is running and simulating without any severe errors but the results are unusable. Any help and tip is appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
