Possibilities and economic limits concerning solar heating
Abstract
The cost of solar energy installations for heating applications are considered, taking into account the collector system with the pipe connections, the central control unit, tanks for storage applications, expenses for the installation of the heating system, and the total costs for the entire system. Approaches for the improvement of solar heating system efficiency are discussed and an investigation is conducted regarding the heat requirements in the case of one and two-family houses. Attention is also given to technical details and developments concerning solar heating systems and the various factors which affect the economy of solar heating system operation.
