 INTRODUCTION

The heating of swimming pools is a prime application for solar energy. The low set-point temperature (around 30°C) means that solar collectors perform well.

Space heating, meanwhile, is enjoying strong growth, particularly in the single-family home sector.

With solar air-conditioning, there's a perfect match between solar resources and cooling requirements.

For information on solar radiation and the principle of solar thermal collectors, please refer to the article .
