Solar Thermal

Attribute	Unit	Data type	Description
deployment	–	bool	If set to ‘true’, the technology will be considered in the energy system model (this does not necessarily mean it will be used). Only relevant for optimisation.
kW_th_max	kW	float	Maximum thermal capacity (i.e. heat output).
eta_overall	–	float	Overall conversion efficiency from solar radiation to heat output.
co2_intensity	kg CO2/kWh	float	Carbon-dioxide intensity of technology output (annual average value).
lifetime	years	int	Expected lifetime of technology before replacement is required.
interest_rate	–	float	Interest rate for computing levelised costs (if required).
capex	CHF/kWp	float	CAPEX cost of technology per unit of capacity.
capex_one_to_one_replacement	CHF/kWp	float	CAPEX cost of technology per unit of capacity (when device has reached the end of life)
maintenance_cost	CHF/kWp/year	float	OPEX cost of technology.
