Solar Thermal Hot Water / Heating
The Sun is the planet's most powerful source of energy and also the most unused source of energy. Solar power is a clean, environmentally friendly source of energy. It is renewable meaning it is impossible to consume the energy at a faster rate than it takes to replenish it for future users. There are no toxic by-products or emissions. There are two different types of solar energy products available at eco NRG Solutions: Solar Thermal and Solar Photovoltaic.
eco NRG Solutions' Solar Thermal energy is a technology designed to harness solar radiation in order to produce thermal energy. This is achieved via solar thermal collectors (panels). A solar thermal collector is specifically intended to collect heat: that is, to absorb sunlight to provide heat. At eco NRG Solutions we install only the most efficient collectors - evacuated tubes. Evacuated tubes are designed to convert the maximum amount of sunlight. They do not require direct sunlight thus making them best suited for the UK climate.
eco NRG Solutions' Solar Thermal Hot Water system is the fundamental package. Typically 30%-40% of a household’s fuel bill is devoted to heating hot water. Our solar thermal hot water system can save the individual family from 60%-70% of that bill. This system can produce and distribute temperatures in excess of 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit) to all of your hot water outlets. These temperatures can be predominately achieved via the transfer of solar thermal energy thus economising usage from the existing fuel source. Solar thermal hot water systems are currently and progressively in high demand.
eco NRG Solutions' Solar Thermal Heating system is an addition to our fundamental hot water package. The two systems are designed to function in tandem with hot water taking preference. The heating system works on a preheat basis similar to the hot water system. This enables the process to operate intermittently thus providing enough heat as storage. The heat stored can be transferred into either radiators or underfloor heating. This technology will soon be as highly demanded as solar thermal hot water.
If installed correctly solar thermal systems can meet all of the summer time needs and during times of decreased sunlight solar energy will preheat the system then bring it up to temperature by the conventional heating process.
By having a solar thermal system installed you will be playing your part in reducing co2 emissions.
On 1st February 2010, the Government published a consultation on the proposed design of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, which it aims to introduce in April 2011. The RHI will provide financial support for those who install renewable heating, such as solar thermal technology. For information on this please visit www.econrgsolutions.co.uk/feedintariffs.html
