- SCOP is slightly lower in cases with a PV field due

- The highest SPFs are encountered in the

- However, a low energy demanding building with

- Self-consumption accounts for one third to a half
- f the total production.
- The excess of electricity fed into the grid is high
in all cases, with exception of the direct heating with small PV field
Chiara Dipasquale – Modelling results on New Generation Solar Cooling systems
CONCLUSIONS
- Solar driven systems can assume different configurations, from the PV coupled to a heat
pump for heating production to the integration of solar thermal collectors for decreasing thermal loads to the use of sorption chillers for the cooling loads;
- When designing a solar energy system, the solar field size is key, in fact bigger solar thermal
fields can cause stagnation problems and in PV systems the self-consumption can be only a small fraction of the produced energy (20% to 30%);
- Solar technologies have good results in terms of solar fraction and SPF also in northern
climates thanks to the longer winter season and the inclination of solar radiation in this period.
- The use of thermal storages can help to maximize the use of solar energy also in
combination with PV systems.
