In a solar thermal hot water system, the power of the sun is used to heat tubes containing a heat absorbent liquid, which is then piped through the water tank, transferring its energy as it goes.
Solar thermal systems can be divided into flat plate systems and evacuated solar tube systems, which show different degrees of efficiency in different conditions. Green Heat Wales are experienced in design and installation of both types of system and can advise you on which type is best suited to your project. Using specialised software and records of average solar radiation in the area of the installation, we are able to calculate the amount of energy that should be generated by the collectors and the likely percentage of the hot water supply the solar collectors will satisfy.
