2 Identification of the basic conditions Estimation/compilation of consumption data Are the consumption data confirmed by measurements? Have the losses been taken into consideration? Are the consumption profiles (year, week, day profile) known? Have vacation times been taken into consideration? Energy savings at the object (insulation, renovation, economic armatures, )? Is it possible to minimise boiler and circulation losses? Is an exchange of the boiler or a refitting planned? Are changes in the user structure imminent (modification, enlargement, )? What is the life cycle of the designated roofages? Are static expertises necessary? Is there enough space for the placement of storages and system technology? Is the insertion of storages through existing openings possible? Determine ceiling height, tilting degree Are shadowless spaces available?

Renovation of the roofage Exchange / renovation of the boiler plant Renewal of the heat / hot water distribution network Change-over of the heating system to another energy source In these cases synergy effects can be used: Economisation of the roofing Installation of fixing elements without harming the roof panel later on Use of the scaffolds and the elevators Entitlement to adequate support programmes Reduction of energy need and losses Application of shared control and measurement technique 6-3-

7 Coefficient of performance (COP) The coefficient of performance (COP) describes the ratio of the utility heat provided by the solar system to the electrical energy needed for pumps, control and actuator. Solar system output COP = Sum of auxiliary electrical energy Foto: Stadtwerke Karlsruhe 13 Capacity utilisation Typical values for capacity utilisation large systems medium systems small systems big dimensioning small dimensioning capacity utilisation in l/m² collector surface The capacity utilisation of a solar hot water system describes the ratio of the daily need of hot water to the collector surface: capacity utilisation = need of hot water / collector surface [l/(d m²)] only useful for systems for pure domestic hot water heating it is important to indicate the temperature level (normally 60 C) 14-7-

11 Influence of tap water temperature and return flow temperature For a bath a maximum temperature of about 36 C is needed, for a shower about 40 C. As the storage temperature is normally higher, the consumer adds cold water at the extraction point. A large part of the tap volume uses the cold water pipe. The increase of the temperature in the standby storage reduces the storage output, as more cold water is added because of the higher outlet temperature. The storage output is decisive for the heat output of the solar system. Low return flow temperatures increase the efficiency of the collector. Production and fraction increase, the heat price sinks. 21 Result of deviation of the presumed consumption Collector surface [m²] C: Costs solar heat [ /kwh] U C F C: Costs of usable solar heat (sloping roof) U: Utilisation level of the solar system F: Fraction used by tapped hot water Capacity utilisation [l/(d m²)] effective operating point at 30 % less consumption effective operating point at 30 % higher consumption planned dimensioning with 60 l/(d m²) Source: BINE / Solarpraxis, M.
