How?
Harnessing solar radiation to generate heat in the collector and then transfer it to stored cold water. This creates a solar store of pre heated water ranging in temperature from 20° C up to 100° C depending on its use. 60° C for normal hot water systems. This water is then fed into your existing hot water system, reducing the amount of energy used. Increasing boiler life and reducing wear and tear. Remember, any gain from the collector is FREE!
Where?
Solar heated water can be used anywhere that hot water is needed. Swimming pools are especially effective due to the relatively low operating temperature. Domestic hot water services in commercial and large residential properties as well as hospitals, schools etc.
Who benefits?
Long term, everyone. Solar is the cleanest of all renewable energy. Short term, any building that has a hot water demand. In essence, the higher your demand is, the more you can save. Imagine saving 70% of your annual energy bill.
How much?
As with most things, the more you spend, the more you save. We can offer a variety of options to suit your budget.
What's the Payback?
