Comprehensive Evaluation and Monitoring of Solar Thermal Combisystems for Detached Houses
Abstract
In the course of the IEE-project “CombiSol – Standardisation & Promotion of Solar Combisystems”, in Germany, France, Sweden and Austria, 70 recently built plants were analyzed by experts from the respective countries. The focus was a qualitative evaluation of the solar thermal systems. For 45 of these evaluated solar combisystems based on a detailed monitoring campaign an energy balance about the whole thermal energy supply and -distribution is going to be drawn in order to get quantitative evaluation results. A further part of the project is to get basic data for a comparison between laboratory tests and in situ monitoring. The result should be modified standard concepts for testing of solar thermal combisystem units.
