Solar Thermal

As is the case with many types of renewable heating, the primary energy source is the infinite power of the sun! We have many solutions to channel it into sustainable solutions for your heating and hot water needs and solar thermal is probably the most efficient….

With our advanced solar thermal systems, we can help you not only create a more sustainable home or business, but also deliver tangible savings on your energy bills. Let's delve into the benefits of solar thermal systems for hot water and heating.

Solar thermal systems leverage the most abundant energy resource we have: the sun. Unlike fossil fuels that are finite and have an adverse impact on the environment, solar power is limitless, clean, and completely renewable. It's an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

This also means it is what we call an “uncontrolled heat source”, this means we have to design the right amount of storage in cylinders or buffers and avoid oversizing the collectors.

By harnessing the energy of the sun to heat your water and home, you will see a reduction in your monthly utility bills. Although there is an upfront investment in solar thermal systems, once you have it the running costs and maintenance are lower than any alternative. The long-term savings can be substantial, most of our customers pay nothing for hot water between May and November. In many cases, systems can pay for themselves in energy savings over their lifetime.

Solar thermal systems are highly efficient in transforming solar energy into heat. Modern collectors can convert over 70% of solar radiation into heat, compared to solar photovoltaic systems, which average around 15-20% efficiency. Therefore, you get more bang for your buck, with a solar thermal system, particularly when it comes to heating water and your home.

Solar thermal systems are incredibly durable and require minimal maintenance. Once installed, they can continue to provide reliable service for 20-25 years or even longer. And, since the sun's power doesn't fluctuate like electricity prices, you can count on consistent performance year after year.

By adopting solar thermal systems, you can increase your energy independence. This reduces your reliance on the grid and insulates you from fluctuating energy prices. Plus, during periods of high energy production, you may be able to store excess energy or even sell it back to the grid in some cases.

Investing in a solar thermal system for your hot water and heating needs is a step towards a more sustainable, cost-effective, and energy-independent future. Our experienced team is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you understand all the benefits of harnessing solar power. Let's work together to make the most of the sun's limitless energy.
