Large-Scale Solar Thermal Systems: Design and Installation

Covers the practical expertise to design and install optimized, large scale solar thermal systems.

The course provides you with both technical and commercial skills to develop large-scale solar thermal systems for hot water generation and heating. It covers design, installation, operation and monitoring and includes dynamic system simulations. The course combines theory with practical training in the RENAC Training Center, demonstration of different system designs and applications. Case studies are used to illustrate the typical demands of, for example, hospital and hotel systems. Additionally, the course looks at the economics of different system designs, with the necessary calculations.
