Content Description
SHC Task 54 "Price Reduction of Solar Thermal Systems" experts highlight economic and technological mechanisms that could change the price structure of current solar thermal systems decisively through five practical examples.
The webinar will cover:
- Solar thermal value chain and cost reduction potential (S. Fischer, ITW)
- LCOH calculation method (Y. Louvet, Uni Kassel)
- Practical examples:
- Reduction of production costs - Potential of polymeric materials (M. Meir, Aventa)
- Reduction of production costs - Potential of process cost optimization (A. Oliva, ISE)
- Cost reduction by standardization (S. Fischer, ITW)
- Cost reduction by temperature limitation (B. Schiebler, ISFH)
- Cost competitiveness of multi-family-house systems (F. Veynandt, AEE INTEC) - Wrap-up (M. Köhl, ISE)
- Q&A & Moderator (S.Saile, ISE)
You'll hear from:
- Stephan Fischer is the Group Leader for the Testing Research and Testing Center for Thermal Solar Systems (TZS) at the Institute of Thermodynamics and Thermal Engineering (ITW) of the University of Stuttgart, Germany. He is also the SHC Task 54 Subtask B Leader.
