Solar power or solar heat: What will upraise the efficiency of district heating? Multi-criteria analyses approach

Solar energy has become a reasonable solution for power and heat production due to the continuous advancements of solar technologies. There are several solar system technologies available for heat production in district heating (DH) – solar thermal collectors (SC), photovoltaic (PV) panels for power production and self-power consumption coverage of heating plants, as well as photovoltaic thermal panels (PVT) which can generate both power and...
