Abstract:
In order to comply with the 20-20-20 Directive, by which every EU member state has pledged to produce 20% of the energy by
using renewable sources, solar energy for heating became a much addressed to topic, as a viable and up-scalable option. Research
is devoted to increasing the efficiency while reducing the production costs and the development of novel solar thermal systems
with dish collectors can contribute with innovative solutions. Thus, the first step in the development process, the conceptual
design of a solar thermal system with dish solar collector used for heating is presented in the paper. This solar thermal system will
be implemented in Brasov area.
