WP2 Market Analysis
The market analysis will provide an in depth analysis of markets for small scale SolarCombi+ and serve as a basis for the definition of the cases to be studied in WP3. It will be performed on three pillars: (i) small scale chillers, (ii) solar thermal applications and (iii) consumers. The ecologically and economically rated case studies of WP3 will on the other hand be the basis for a SWOT analysis, the examination of market shares and definition of goals.

WP3 Virtual Case Studies
Based on the results of the market analysis and on the experience with installed systems up to now, promising configurations will be identified, simulated for different typical conditions (i.e. utilization, climate, building type) and finally economically and ecologically rated. These virtual case studies are performed under the experienced coordination of ISE; the institutional partners will work together closely, each of them being responsible for one of the industry partners’ technologies and bringing in their experience in order to maximise synergy.

WP4 Determination of standard applications & most promising markets
Out of the large number of virtual case studies, a handy number of standard system configurations, which work best under different conditions, are identified. Based on these, the industry partners will be able to provide consistent package solutions. These will enable planers and independent craftsmen to install reliable systems. The economical and ecological rating of the virtual case studies will also allow identifying the most promising markets, where systems are yet at the edge of economical breakeven point or beyond. Last but not least the results of the virtual case studies will be made available online with an easy to handle web-based tool, which can query it under different aspects.

WP5 Training on Package Solutions
Special training courses for solar thermal installers on standard system configurations and package solutions will be prepared. Target group are (solar thermal) installers, because the goal of the packaged solutions is to avoid the need of engineering. However, courses are also open to other professionals.

WP6 Dissemination and Communication
Tailored dissemination, communication and training plans were elaborated to reach the different key actors. They include besides website and newsletters as well as the presentation of results at relevant conferences and trade fairs addressing a wider audience, (i) the dissemination of both the elaborated brochure and the online tool to query the virtual study cases towards professional groups, where possible on the occasion of annual meetings or in synergy with related national and international projects, (ii) the provision of information and advice to (national) authorities on the potential of SolarCombi+ with the aim to include it in support programmes and (iii) the approach of local authorities in promising regions promoting pilot installations. Finally, information through public media in the most promising regions should give an important push to market entry.
