1. Solar Energy Systems

2. How It Works
• Solar irradiation directly converted
to electricity.
• Thermal Solar Energy System.
• Combined / hybrid system

3. Solar irradiation is optimal when it is least
needed
Storing solar energy during surplus
production for future use is therefore
necessary

4. Photovoltaic Geographical Information System
estimates of solar electricity generation 1.0 kW
(crystalline silicon)

5. Inter-Seasonal Thermal Storage
Electrolysis of water: Freiburg self-
surficient solar house

6. Inter-seasonal Heat storage in water
Braamwisch Ecological Settlement
(Hamburg, Germany)
• Average energy consumption for each of the housing
units is about 3390KWh per year (59KWh /m2 per year)
as against 4500KWh per year (197KWh /m2 per year)
for a typical German single family home. payback time
is estimated to be 20years this can even be shorter if
we take into account only a third of the 124 housing
units were built to consume energy below 70KWh/ m2
per year German low energy building standard.

7. Short Term Solar Energy Storage
• Battries are charged with energy from (PV)
cells.

8. Combined /Hybrid Solar Energy system
. Absolicon X10 has an output temperature
and produces heat and electrical energy at
0.11euro per KWh if 60% government subsidy
is taken into account
Same output as conventional PV panels + 4 times the energy as hot water
