The valorisation process for all results like learning of evaluation programs, guidelines, documents, complements to standards, tools developed should be as practical and efficient as possible. A website including all elements developed during this project is built (http://www. combisol. eu).

All professional actors have to be closely involved in this process of improvement of global quality of Solar CombiSystems. Consumers need to be more and better informed about these systems in order to be able to choose the most adapted system to their situation in the best conditions. Several workshops and presentations will be organised in each partner country for the different market actors.

3. Conclusion

After 8 month, the preliminary elements required for each work package are done.

• The call for Solar CombiSystem evaluation is closed, the preliminary list of systems that will be evaluated is defined.

• The common evaluation criteria data sheet is built.

• The specification for monitoring the SCS, collecting the information and evaluating the performance of the systems are done.

• The website is created.

The instrumentation of the different system, the qualitative evaluation and the test lab will start during this autumn.
