Sažetak
Camping sites represent one of the most highly suitable locations for solar thermal systems for preparation of domestic hot water (DHW). Not only that hot water demand at camping sites and the solar energy supply coincide almost erfectly – during the peak season from May until October approx. 75 % of annual irradiation occurs – but also the owners and the clients of camping sites show environmentally friendly behavior and are in the most cases promoters of sustainable development at the local level. Despite all that, usage of solar thermal energy in camping sites represents exception rather than routine – even in Mediterranean region with high number of solar days and high irradiation, such as Croatia. The project Solcamp aims to increase number of solar thermal installations on camping sites with targeted marketing and providing its owners with information and basic planning data for their site free of producers' interest. In addition to cost effectiveness of solar thermal systems usage, additional value for camping sites is their classification as “ camping site in accordance with environment” , which attracts modern guests and could be used for advertising purposes.
