3.1. Market analysis

The market analysis provides an in depth analysis of markets for small scale SolarCombi+ and serves as a basis for the definition of the cases to be studied in WP3. It is performed on three pillars: (i) small scale chillers, (ii) solar thermal applications and (iii) consumers. The ecologically and economically rated case studies of WP3 are on the other hand the basis for a SWOT analysis, the examination of market shares and definition of goals.

3.2. Virtual case studies

Based on the results of the market analysis and on the experience with installed systems up to now, promising configurations will be identified, simulated for different typical conditions (i. e. utiliza­tion, climate, building type) and finally economically and ecologically rated.
