Abstract
The endeavor of this paper was the study of the potential offered by the expenditure of an innovative Solar CombiSystem, SCS, used for space heating load, domestic hot water supply, and electric energy production. The analyses achieved in this work were based on experimental and simulation studies. A TRNSYS simulation program was achieved in order to evaluate the SCS monthly/annual thermal and electric performances. It was observed that the proposed SCS covers between 20 and 45% of the solar heating, SH, energy needs by considering only solar energy. It was also found that the SCS electric production covered between 49 and 125%. An economic analysis was also achieved to appraise the SCS feasibility.
