It will provide attendees with knowledge of the unique types of solar thermal technologies and working fluids, to judge the effectiveness of the systems in individual applications. Attendees will learn how environment, installation angles, working temperatures, and working fluid impact the yields of solar thermal systems. Also covered will be various types of solar thermal systems and their applications in hot water, heating and air conditioning systems. Solar photovoltaics will also be discussed briefly. Lastly, attendees will learn the total ownership costs of solar thermal, incentive programs, and how incentives effect the return on investment.
