In order to allow an easy application and implementation of the program, a documentation “solar kit” has been developed.

The “solar kit” includes a guideline document and a standard format for public calls for tenders based on quality and reliability as key-criteria for design and installation. This first outcome can be surely considered a valuable step towards the standardisation of the solar integration procedures, even though many aspects still have to be faced.

The guideline document for the implementation of the Programme is addressed to the jails Directorates and to the technicians who have to arrange the tender and evaluate the proposals.

The main aims of this document are:

• Explaining and making clear the administrative procedures for the Programme implementation;

• Defining the prisoners training contents and activities;

• Providing useful instruments and criteria for the compilation of the call for tender and, more in

general, for the comprehension of the solar thermal plants operation’s principles.

Within the “solar kit”, besides the guidelines, the jails Directorates receive also all the documents useful for the correct execution of the Solar Programme and in particular they are provided with:

1. The “Prisoners Standard Training Programme” for achieving a qualification certificate as “Solar Thermal Plant Installation and Maintenance Operator”;

2. A “Standard Technical Inspection Questionnaire” for the collection of data on heat demand quantification and on site characterization;

3. A “Standard Contract Specifications”;

4. A “Standard Technical Specifications” for solar thermal plant design, provision and installation.
