Abstract: Solar energy is an important alternative energy source that leads to sustainable development of district heating (DH) systems. The aim of this paper is to analyze optimal integration of photovoltaic thermal hybrid (PVT) technology in DH systems by covering industrial power consumption and heat demand of buildings in the Northern European climate.
