• On the Potential of Using Heat from Solar Thermal Collectors for Heat Pump Evacuators (2011)-

  This is a study presented by members of the Swiss Institut für Solartechnik during the ISES Solar Word Congress held in Kassel, Germany (28 August - 2 September 2011). Part of the IEA SHC Task 44, the paper researches the benefits and performances of using heat from solar collectors for the evaporator of the heat pump instead of using the heat directly.

• Integrated Unglazed Solar Panel Development (2010)-

  This is a presentation of the research done by the Environmental Energy Solutions Ltd. for the development and testing of their prototype solar heat system. The particularities consisted in the large, low cost solar collector integrated into the roof or wall cladding system and its integrated water sourced heat pump and thermal storage system. A prototype was installed on a house in Wellington, providing year-round performance data. This report was done with the support of the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority.

• Determining the Efficiency of Solar Swimming Pool Heating System-

  Using the solar collector's thermal performance rating might be the easiest way of determining the efficiency of a solar swimming pool heating system.
