What is Solar Thermal?

Solar thermal energy is a renewable energy source that is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. Thermal will use the sun’s energy to heat the water, which can then be used for a variety of purposes, including heating homes and providing hot water. With an increase in energy costs and a growing awareness of the need to reduce carbon emissions. Many homeowners are turning to solar thermal systems as a way to save money.

 

How Solar Thermal Systems Work

The Solar thermal systems consist of a solar collector, usually installed on the roof of a building, and a storage tank. A Thermals collector will absorb the sun’s energy, which is then transferred to the storage tank where the water is heated. Heated water can then be used for a variety of purposes, including central heating and hot water. Solar thermal systems are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to heat water, and they can significantly reduce the amount of energy needed to heat water, which in turn can lower energy bills.

Benefits of Using Solar Thermal Systems in the UK

There are many benefits to using solar thermal systems in the UK. For one, they are a renewable energy source, so they do not produce carbon emissions and do not contribute to climate change. Additionally, they can significantly reduce the amount of energy needed to heat water, which in turn can lower energy bills. Solar thermal systems can also increase the value of a home and can be a selling point for homeowners looking to sell their property. Another benefit of solar thermal systems is that they are relatively easy to install and maintain. They do not require complex installation procedures and can be integrated into existing hot water systems. Furthermore, solar thermal systems have a long lifespan, typically around 25 years, which means that the initial investment will pay off in the long run.

Types of Thermal Systems Available in the UK

There are a few different types of thermal systems available in the UK, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Flat plate collectors are the most common type of thermal system and are suitable for most homes. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. This is the type of system we use here at EEC Solar.

Choosing a System

When choosing a solar system, it is important to consider the size of the system and the amount of hot water needed. The system should be sized to meet the hot water needs of the household, and a qualified solar thermal installer should be consulted for advice, which EEC can certainly help with. Furthermore, EEC will consider the orientation and the shading of the solar collector. Collectors should be installed in an area that receives the most sun and is not shaded by trees or buildings.
