Combisol project

• Solar Combisystems Promotion and Standardisation
• Starting date December 1st, 2007
• Duration 36 months

2
Objectives of the project

• Combisol will encourage an accelerated market
  deployment of SCS hence a higher share of heat
  produced by solar energy - and will promote an
  improved quality of the systems installed.
• In particular, it will
• promote best practices for solar combisystems in
  new and existing buildings,
• promote standardised systems and cost-effective
  solutions,
• propose recommendations to manufacturers with
  regard to combisystems design,
• train installers,
• develop specific dimensioning tools in order to
  facilitate the recommendation for solar
  combisystems based on the EPBD methodology,
• increase consumers confidence, providing
  information on energy efficiency of solar
  combisystems, based on in-situ monitoring and
  test labs.

Expected results

• Set of tools both for manufacturers and
  installers
• Well-established test method for SCS, well
  accepted by manufacturers and that could be used
  to complete existing european standards
• Improved training sessions for installers
• Increase of consumers confidence in SCS with
  better knowledge of thermal performance
• Availability of some standardised and
  cost-effective SCS on the market
• Better management of prescription, dimensioning
  and installation schemes
• Information to national and local authorities in
  order to adapt subsidy schemes
