This session brings together an unprecedented 4 international speakers from Sweden, Denmark, Austria and Netherleands sharing experience in Large-Scale Solar Thermal energy system.

Not to be missed!

Solar Heat Networks (also known as Solar District Heating Networks) are a type of low carbon heat network where a proportion of the consumer's heat is sourced from a centralised large-scale solar heat farm. Solar heat farms are usually ground-mounted solar thermal collectors and systems range in capacity from 0.5 to 100-megawatt (MW) peak. Even in cold climates, these systems can provide 25% of the annual heat demand (the most economical cases) but can also supply 100% of the heat demand with large inter-seasonal heat stores, as is the case with Drake Landing Solar Community in Canada. They can also be building-integrated, as in the case for the systems in Salzburg (District heating system with solar energy storage - an energy efficient solution for the community: https://youtu.be/8XAcYUvRbEQ).

SEDA Solar has brought together three of Europe’s leading experts on large-scale solar thermal to discuss their use in Europe, and to explore how they could be incorporated into Scotland's Heat Network Fund applications.

Three short presentations will be followed by Q&A and discussions.

1. Large-Scale Solar Thermal, the Swedish perspective by Prof Jan-Olof Dalenbäck, Chalmers University of Technology

2. Large-Scale Solar Thermal, the Danish perspective by Per Alex Sorenson, Engineer, PlanEnergi

3. Large-Scale Solar Thermal, the Austrian perspective by Christian Holter , SOLID Solar Energy System

4. Large-Scale Solar Thermal, the Netherlands perspective by Leo de Rijke, Senior Sales Engineer, G2Energy

Discussion Topic: Should Scotland's Heat Network Fund applicants consider incorporating solar thermal in their schemes?

We look forward to seeing you!
