One of the project aims is to develop a novel solar thermal collector with a fluid absorber embedded in glass vacuum-tubes.

The adsorber heat exchanger is a key component based on plate technology that will be specially developed for the needs of the STES system after numerical and experimental analysis and optimisation.
The SWS-HEATING project will develop an innovative seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) unit with a novel storage material and creative configuration, i.e. a sorbent material embedded in a compact multi-modular sorption STES unit. This will allow to store and shift the harvested solar energy available abundantly during the summer to the less sunny and colder winter period thus covering a large fraction of heating and domestic hot water demand in buildings.
The core objective of the SWS-HEATING project is to develop a new sorbent material of the SWS family with optimised sorption properties, matching the working conditions of a heat storage cycle with low temperature solar heat charging (70 – 95 °C) to allow efficient application also in less sunny north European countries.
