final report

This report was submitted by Greentech Knowledge Solutions to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and it is the result of the work carried out by the New Delhi consortium. Other members of the consortium are located at Pondicherry, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneshwar and Kolkata.
The objective of the report is to understand the solar water heating market, make projection for the expected demand until 2022 and generate policy inputs to help authorities tackle the possible obstacles.

This is the final report of the EU funded project East-GSR (2006-2008), created to support the development of the solar thermal market in 5 Eastern European countries (Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia). One of the main objectives of the project was to promote the performance guarantee approach for large solar thermal systems focusing on the example of the Guaranteed Solar Results (GSR) contract. The project was coordinated by the French Energy Agency ADEME.

The REMAP Project (Action Plan for High Priority Renewable Energy Initiatives in Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Area) is a two years initiative funded under the European Commission FP6 with the goal of investigating two electricity generation technologies: wind power and concentrated solar power, in nine European and Mediterranean countries (Algeria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Jordan, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey).

This is a study assessing the market potential of small scale Combined Heating Cooling and Power (CHCP) in several European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland).

The study is one of the final deliverables of the PolySMART Project (POLYgeneration with advanced small and medium scale thermally driven air-conditioning and refrigeration technology), an integrated project partly funded by the European Commission under 6th Framework Programme.

This document is the final report of the project "Solar Thermal Components Adapted to Common Building Standards", involving different universities in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Latvia (Technical University of Denmark, SERC, University of Oslo, Riga Technical University).

This document is the final report of the SolarCombi+ Project, which aims at boosting the market for small scale solar cooling systems in combination with traditional solar thermal systems for domestic hot water and space heating.

The document provides an overview of the technology, the project and the results, including an analysis of the most promising technologies, markets and also recommendations to further develop the market and the products.
