Solar Thermal Systems—Education
The sun’s rays can be used to heat water through a solar thermal transfer process. Solar thermal applications can save you approximately 65% of the energy normally required for hot water heating. Thermal collectors can be combined with photovoltaic solar panels for a complete renewable energy solution. Solar Works has extensive experience engineering large-scale commercial and institutional thermal hot water systems for our clients.
Solar Works has over two decades of experience designing and installing solar hot water systems, including a number of large commercial solar thermal installations. Solar energy is used to pre-heat water before it is channeled to a conventional hot water system. This lowers the amount of fossil fuels that would have been otherwise used and can present significant cost savings. Alternatively, solar thermal can be used for specialized applications such as large indoor pool heating.
Features and Benefits
- Flat plate solar collectors are used for superior performance and reliability
- High quality collector frames, low-iron tempered glass and highly efficient absorber plates capture the sun's thermal energy.
- A non-toxic anti-freeze solution is circulated from the collector plates to a heat exchangers before transferring the heat to its final application.
- Substantial savings in fuel, fuel bills and carbon emissions
