T*SOL

Software for the planning, analysis and simulation of thermal solar heating systems. A professional tool for planners, engineers and energy specialists, T*SOL can also be used for education purposes by universities and research institutes.

A large number of solar water heating systems, including space heating, can be tested under varying parameters, with the results (temperature, energies, efficiencies and solar fraction) easily saved to file and presented in graph or chart form.

Two extra modules are available in addition to the main programme: the Swimming Pool module and the SysCat module for large-scale systems. Screen Shots
