Solar Thermal Solar Panels
A solar water heating system collects heat from the sun and uses it to help heat your water.
It can provide hot water for taps, showers, baths and swimming pools. It can provide 100% of your summer requirements and 60% to 70% annually.
A solar thermal system can also be used to supplement your space heating requirements.
Systems can be installed in new build houses and existing homes and will be tailored to your families' needs.

How Solar Thermal works
Our high performance solar panels represent the heart of the solar thermal transfer system; they convert incident sunlight/solar energy into heat. Thanks to their clear, high transparency, low-iron glass, our panels achieve a high degree of heat transmission.
The heat is generated through the absorption of the sun's rays by a dark colour coated absorber sheet of the panels. When there is sufficient daylight a pump kicks in and frost protected, non-toxic solar fluid circulates through the system/pipe work.
The heat transfer fluid in the piping system absorbs the heat and is pumped to the hot water tank, where the heat is transferred to the surrounding water in the tank by a heat exchanger. It is this water in the cylinder that is then used for your showers, sinks and central heating.
Heat can still be generated even when the sun is obscured by cloud. Even on cloudy days, thermal systems can still work to a large percentage of their capacity through the diffuse light they receive. Your existing method for heating water (e.g. gas-fired boiler or electric immersion/all boilers are compatible with our solar system) acts as a backup for when there is insufficient sunlight.
The system works automatically. In summer, almost all hot water needs are met by the solar system, the rest of the year it pre-heats the water so your boiler only tops up to the required temperature. Please note that in the winter the system will only function when the cylinder temperature is lower than the panel temperature thus avoiding a cooling effect on the cylinder.

A group of businessmen, farmers and renewable energy advocates who met today to support Alex Sink for Governor, were abruptly met with an attack from the Rick Scott campaign.
What about a recently laid-off woman who now pushes a reel mower yard to yard to make money? Would lawn lady's be a green job created, a general job lost, or would the two cancel one another for a net job gain of zero?
A significant piece of good news for the ambitious €400 billion (Dh1.87 trillion, US $509 billion) scheme came in April, when one of its members, Germany's Solar Millennium, said its 150 MW Kuraymat project in Egypt was nearing completion and could serve as a template for other north African solar farms.
A new low-cost etching technique developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory can put a trillion holes in a silicon wafer the size of a compact disc.
Heslin Rothenberg Farley & Mesiti P.C. is pleased to announce the Shine-On Solar edition of the Clean Energy Patent Growth Index (CEPGI) by the firm's Cleantech Group.
In what they are calling a "clear and easy choice" for the future of the renewable energy industry, the Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy (FARE), announced today their endorsement of State CFO Alex Sink for Governor and encouraged every organization, business and individual involved in the renewable energy industry to do the same.
Remember back in the good 'ol days of 2008 when manufacturing solar PV below a dollar a watt was a big deal? How quaint that vision seems today.
From PV data and market growth to state solar and regulatory policies, from DOE and Solar ABCs updates to clean energy workforce development and credentialing, IREC has again assembled some of the best in the business to share the latest information on these issues at its 2010 Annual Meeting on Monday, October 11, in Los Angeles.
Schneider Electric announced today its participation at the 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC), the world's largest international conference for solar technology, in Valencia, Spain, from September 6-9, 2010. Schneider Electric will display its global solutions for a wide array of photovoltaic (PV) markets including solar farms, large commercial, residential, off-grid and backup power. These solutions range from inverters, switchgear, and monitoring to security products from Schneider Electric's vast offering of electrical and energy management solutions.
Photon International is reporting that similar to German module manufactures, German inverter manufacturers are feeling the heat from Asia as well. Even though 6 of the top 10 inverters solar worldwide are manufactured in Germany, the organization says component costs in Germany are much higher than those in Asia.
The tremendous growth of wind power in the United States is the result of several factors including state Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) as well as the nation's Smart Grid implementation, which requires the electric grid to accommodate and encourage increasing renewable resources.
Growth Energy, the coalition of U.S. ethanol supporters, today welcomed four new producing plants to its membership. The four new producers bring total plant membership up to 64 and will join Growth Energy's 41 Associate Members and more than 18,000 individual Growth Force Members. Growth Energy is the largest coalition of ethanol producing plants in the United States.
