'Solar Hot Water' or 'Solar Thermal'
technology mainly has two collector types. These are 'Flat Plate' collectors and
'Evacuated Tube' collectors. These collectors have different benefits and uses.
This technology is a cost effective and well integrated way of attaining part
of 'Code For Sustainable Homes' or 'Merton Rule' legislation.
Flat Plate:
- More
pleasing on the eye on a pitch roof
- 'Velux'
in appearance
- Tough
exterior
- Integrates
well with roof tiles
- Can
be roof mounted or inset (using a flashing tray) in to the tiles
Evacuated Tube:
- Flexible
mounting options
- Ideal
for communal or individual system design
- Low
wind loading on a flat roof space
- Laid
flat in banks behind parapit wall for minimum impact
- Adjustable
absorber angles for optimum performance
We supply
and install advanced technology solar thermal systems are reducing the carbon
footprint of homes, offices, hospitals, prisons, leisure centres, swimming
pools, schools and businesses from Inverness to Lands End, in Ireland and in
Europe. Solar thermal heating is the most realistic renewable energy solution
for buildings of all kinds, new or old.
Solar thermal energy is a
viable form of renewable energy. Solar thermal systems are highly efficient,
making them capable of providing enough hot water for the most demanding
facility. The panels are also virtually maintenance-free and have a life expectancy
in excess of 30 years.
The solar energy received by the
earth in just 30 minutes is the equivalent of the energy used by the entire
human population in a year and 'Solar Power' is still a viable option even
in a northern climate, as on a sunny summer day parts of the UK experience
levels of solar energy equal to 60 per cent of those at the equator.
