Arnaud,
It's one of the reasons I am using solar thermal for DHW and space heating in my project. You have to consider that there still will be unused heat in the summer.
Tank Type 534 works very well; you can add more than one heat exchangers in it.

Good afternoon everyone,
I assessed the un-used hot water produced by the DHW solar installation of
my building: 700 hours per years, the temperature of the water in the solar
panels is higher than in the hot water tank. However, this heat is not used
because the temperature in the tank is already at its maximum.
Now I am wondering about two things:
1/ Is this "quantity" of un-used hot water can justify the installation of a
combined solar installation ( DHW AND space
heating)
2/ If this is the case, which component in TRNSYS could I used two model the
tank required for this type of installation.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Arnaud.
