Conclusion

 TASK 54 analysed several technical improvements for cost reduction  Standardization and temperature limitation in the solar loop are identified as most promising general approaches  Cost of solar heat can be reduced by about 30% with single measures  Higher cost reduction by combining different measures are possible  Cost of heat for improved solar assisted DHW systems is comparable to the cost of heat for conventional systems
