The SHC TCP's work is unique in that it is accomplished through the international collaborative effort of experts from member countries and the European Union. The benefits of this approach are: accelerates the pace of technology development promotes standardization enhances national R&D programmes permits national specialization saves time and money Collaborating Organizations SolarThermalWorld.org International Solar Energy Society ISO/TC 180 Solar Energy The Solar Keymark European Solar Thermal Industry Federation: ESTIF What's New Latest News Publications Project Highlights Call for Proposals: SBE21 - The conference will be dedicated to the sustainable improvement of the built heritage, a research area that has grown significantly over the last 10 years and that is currently gaining even more momentum. With a focus on “Renovating historic buildings for a low-carbon built heritage”, the conference will foster a multidisciplinary dialogue between scholars and practitioners working in the fields of energy efficiency and historic building conservation with the aim of finding together the solutions that will bring our common heritage into a sustainable future. (Posted: 2020-05-19) Hybrid solutions maximise solar yield per area - A record 840 people registered for the PVT solutions for buildings and industry webinar in order to learn more about the wide range of applications in which hybrid PV-Thermal systems can be used. This two-in-one technology offers attractive payback periods whenever a constant amount of heat is needed all year round and electricity is consumed on site. (Posted: 2020-04-30) Compact heat battery with virtually no heat loss - A compact thermochemical seasonal storage system put up at a demonstration site in Warsaw, Poland, is working as expected. (Posted: 2020-04-24) How to reduce energy consumption in historic buildings? - Historic buildings make up 30 % of the European building stock and account for more than a third of the total energy consumption in the residential sector across the EU. However, architects and building owners are often lacking information about how to retrofit historic buildings while keeping their aesthetic and historic values intact. (Posted: 2020-03-02) Using solar steam to clean wastewater - Manufacturers have begun looking for solutions to lower the cost of wastewater disposal. One way for them to reduce the volume of contaminated water is to evaporate water on site by using solar steam.

March 25 2020 - A SHC ISES webinar on PVT systems ! - Task 60 experts will give a Webinar on PVT on March 2020 on internet. Exact time and how to attend will be communicated as soon as possible. Check also the ISES web site on Webinars ! There are other interesting topics discussed and the Webinars can also be seen online after the date. A solar PVT DHW system studied in DK - The performance of the system was assessed using selected key performance indicators. A parametric analysis was performed identifying component sizes that improved the system’s performance. The improved system produced 55% more electricity, had 23% lower electric consumption and wasted 11% less heat by minimizing heat losses compared to the demonstration system. The improved system had a solar thermal fraction of 0.58, a solar electrical fraction of 1.51 and a renewable energy fraction of 0.75.
