Abstract
In most temperature climate zones there is a large difference between summer and winter of global irradiation. As an example, the yearly distribution of global radiation for Freiburg (Federal Republic of Germany, 48° latitude) for two years shows a factor of 8 between the months with the highest and lowest irradiation [1]. Thus solar energy systems either have to be equipped with seasonal storage or back-up energy sources have to be employed during the winter season. This problem is particularly severe for solar space heating where demand peaks in winter.
