One of the best known renewable energy technologies, solar thermal captures heat from solar radiation and stores it in a thermal store ready for use in heating and hot water applications:
- Contrary to popular belief solar thermal can provide up to 70 percent of hot water needs despite the British climate!
- We can offer thermal stores that store up to 4 times the thermal storage capacity of a traditional water store.
- We can supply flat plate collectors in virtually any size or shape, to fit into the architecture of the roof or building.
- We have selected the most efficient evacuated tube technology in order that as little of your roof area needs to be covered by solar collectors.
- We can design systems to work with combi boilers.
- The collectors we have selected have gained clear skies accreditation ( ST1003), enhanced capital allowances, and LCBP accreditation.
- The systems we use are both modular and scalable, from a 2.0 sq.m system for a house to a 10 sq.m system for a swimming pool, to a 1700 s.q.m system for 930 apartments.
- The vacuum tubes we have selected are self cleaning and maintenance free and carry a 25 year warranty.
- By using a small bore pipe in the collectors, fluid content is reduced by 66 %, providing greater efficiencies.
- The intelligent differential controllers are engineered to switch on the pump whenever there is useful energy transfer to the storage.
- We can provide dual axis solar thermal tracking systems which can provide significant gains over static systems, while also allowing controllability of the sun’s energy.
We aim to provide the most effective solution, by obtaining the most KWht per annum per £ and maximize the internal rate of return and whole life value.
We design a system to generate the maximum solar gain over the lifetime of the equipment.
