Description

Photovoltaic systems can vary widely, ranging from small installations on residential rooftops to expansive utility-scale projects. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems are utilized for generating electricity and come in various forms, such as parabolic troughs, power towers, and linear Fresnel designs. Projects often involve power purchase agreements (PPAs) that connect the system to the grid at a designated interconnection point, allowing revenue generation through the sale of electricity. Ownership of these projects can reside with a single entity or involve partnerships that may include flip or leaseback arrangements. Additionally, there are instances of third-party ownership where the solar system is situated on the property of the customer, but the ownership lies with a separate developer who compensates the host for the electricity produced, typically through a PPA or a lease agreement. This model not only facilitates the adoption of solar energy but also provides financial incentives for property owners to invest in renewable energy solutions.

Description

T*SOL is a simulation tool designed to assess the performance of thermal solar systems. It caters to various applications including domestic water heating, heating augmentation, swimming pool heating, and process heating. With T*SOL, you can effectively plan and size your solar thermal installations, including storage solutions and collector configurations, even for east-west roof orientations, while analyzing their economic viability. At the outset of your design journey, you have access to a wide array of relevant systems tailored for heating water, supporting heating needs, managing swimming pools, and addressing process heat demands. The software offers dimensioning recommendations throughout the design phase and allows for parameter adjustments, enabling you to discover the most effective combinations of storage capacity and collector area. Furthermore, the simulation outputs, including energy values, temperatures, and volumes, can be visualized in various graphical formats. Users can select from options like bar charts and line graphs, with the flexibility to adjust the time frame from a single day to an entire year, facilitating a comprehensive analysis of the system's performance over different periods. This versatility makes T*SOL an invaluable resource for optimizing solar thermal system designs.
