The building is provided with eight CHAPS collectors, 6000 liters of hot water storage, hydronic in-slab floor heating, gas fired boosters and a 40kW inverter. A CHAPS collector is a 38X, one axis tracking PV concentrator that is 24 meters long. Heat is removed from the solar cells using a fluid, which is then passed through a heat exchanger to provide heat to an external circuit. The thermal component of the system currently is being commissioned and the PV-T receivers will be installed later. The projected annual generating capacity for the system is 50 MWhr of electricity and 360 GJ of hot water. This paper describes details of the installation, performance of the system and summarizes the lessons learnt.Keywords: Heat exchangers; Heating; Photovoltaic cells; Solar cells; Hot water storage; Thermal components; Solar concentrators200610.1109/WCPEC.2006.2795352015-12-08
