large storage cylinder that stores thermal heat from the summer for the winter. The
cost of the solar system would increase considerably as a result. Economically, it
currently makes more sense to integrate only one storage cylinder with a few days'
capacity into a system. This would enable between 20% and 70% of the heat require-
ment to be covered by the sun (Figure 6.14).
