Abstract
In the house building sector, central solar heating plants presently offer the most cost-favourable application of all possibilities of solar-thermal systems. By the integration of seasonal heat storage, more than 50% of the annual heating demand for space heating and domestic hot water can be supplied by solar energy. Since 1995, eight central solar heating plants with seasonal heat storage have been built in Germany within the governmental R&D-programme ‘Solarthermie-2000’. This report describes the technology of central solar heating plants and gives advice about planning and costs. The pilot and demonstration plants for seasonal heat storage already built in Germany are described in detail to give an idea about possible system design and applications of central solar heating plants.
