“…A single-family house can make energy-efficient even net-zero carbon emission by using an allelectric solution. J. L. Garcia et al [11] mentioned that the solar collector based DHW system performance depends on water flow rate, draw time and duration, city water temperature, control of water circulation loop, and system layout. From their experiments, they found that most of the collected energy goes to the loads.…”

“…The used a concentrating solar collector and rock-bed storage with air as a working medium for a long-term house heating system. Authors [11] suggested making an energy-efficient house by improving the house design parameters such as walls, insulation, windows, and ceiling fan, and so on. In this research, a solar thermal energy-based space heating and DHW system have been designed and analyzed for a single-family residential house.Some Universities in Canada are doing some research relating to energy storage in summer and supply the stored energy in the extreme wintertime.…”

Almost all single-family detached house in Canada consume huge electricity for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) purposes. There are many possibilities to design an energy-efficient house. A solar water heating system can be used for domestic water and space heating. Water temperature can be kept constant always by connecting a heat pump or oil burner because solar energy is intermittent. Proper and optimized solar photovoltaic and collector design, tank design, heat pump selection, house insulation, total demand calculation in each section are essential. Energy-Efficient house design has been proposed with water heating and space heating system and compared with the existing system, solar PV based systems, and solar collector based system. The tracking and non-tracking based solar thermal collector based and the solar photovoltaic based system has been compared in this paper and investigate the suitable one for practically applicable and acceptable by the people. Simulation has been done by using the PolySun software. It found that by implementing the proposed PV based system with tracking is highly suitable considering lower cost, high output power, flexibility, easy installation.

Almost all single-family detached houses in Canada consume enormous electrical energy for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) purposes. There are many possibilities to design an energy-efficient house. A solar water heating system can be used for domestic water and space heating. Water temperature can be kept constant always by connecting a heat pump or oil burner to the main tank because solar energy is intermittent. The sizing of solar photovoltaic and collector, tank, heat pump are essential to design an effective system based on the system energy consumption. The existing house is just a conventional house where space and water heating are provided by the grid electricity only. In this research, two possible ways of thermal energy storage systems have been designed for a residential single-family house with solar collector and solar photovoltaic. It is proved that the proposed PV based energy storage system is highly suitable considering lower cost, high output power, flexibility, and easy installation.

“…In 2018, the number of documented installations, both experimental and practical in nature, amounts to 635 around the world. 3 Cost is one of the issues that hinders the interest of companies in solar energy with typical payback times of about nine years 4 ; however, another issue that reduces the confidence of companies in the use of solar energy is the availability of the resource, both in terms of quantity and time of operation. 5 For a steady and growing substitution of conventional sources of energy by solar energy in industry, it is of vital importance to create the conditions for developing the confidence of companies in its use.…”

The aim of this paper is to present a design approach for the selection of the most cost-effective solar thermal plant composed of flat plate solar collectors for a given process. The approach seeks to provide the designer with the necessary elements for decision making, namely minimum total operating costs, minimum required plot area for installation, maximum daily operating time and determination of payback time. The optimisation methodology search uses a cost equation for flat plate solar collectors along with a thermal model linked in a MatLab and General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) platform. In stand-alone collector design, tube diameter, tube length and collector width are the variables that have a major impact on the cost; in the case of solar collector fields, the number of collectors in series is the variable with the strongest impact. It is shown that the optimised networks fulfil the thermal duty within the limitation of land area. The designs are carried out for the conditions that guarantee operation throughout the year and exhibit saving of up to 50% and payback times lower than six years. The approach is demonstrated using a case study.
