Abstract

The presented work is related to the use of solar energy for the needs of heating and electricity for a single house located in Poland. Electricity will provided by energy conversion in the turbine by means of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), in which the operating medium (water heated in solar collector) is heating refrigerator in the heating exchanger. The solar installation is integrated with heat accumulator and wood boiler, which is used in the situation that collector is not enough to fill requirements of thermal comfort. There are chosen also all the necessary components of the system. In the work is also performed the economic assessment, by F chart method, to evaluate the profitability of the project, taking into total costs and savings.
