SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEM (SHW)
Solar Hot Water systems use the sun’s energy to heat hot water through solar collection panels. This is a simple system that supplements the heating of water in a property by traditional methods using electricity, oil or gas.
These systems can be used in both residential and commercial applications, storing water in hot water cylinders until required. SHW systems will often provide sufficient hot water without the use of additional heating during the summer and autumn months and provide ‘pre-heated’ water in the darker winter months, which is cheaper to bring to the required temperature.
A Solar Hot Water System works in conjunction with your traditional water heating system, supplementing available hot water and thus reducing energy usage and cost. The systems work side-by-side to ensure hot water is always available from the most cost efficient route available.
Our experience in delivering large scale district heating systems powered by solar is second to none.
Photovoltaic Systems (PV)
Photovoltaic systems convert the sun’s light directly into electricity providing efficiencies in the region of 15%.
Solar Hot Water (SHW)
Solar Hot Water systems use the sun’s energy to heat hot water through solar collection panels.
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP)
Ground Source Heat Pump systems collect low-grade heat from just below the ground’s surface to produce energy through a series of pipes.
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Air Source Heat Pump systems take the natural heat within the air and heats it further through the use of a process similar to that used in refrigeration.
Exhaust Air Heat Pumps (EAHP)
Exhaust Air Heat Pump systems extract air via ductwork that is connected to warm areas of a building such as kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.
Biomass
Biomass is produced from organic materials, either directly from plants or indirectly from industrial, domestic or agricultural products. It is also called ‘bio energy or bio fuels’.
Wind Turbines
wind provides a significant source of energy and Wind Turbines can harness this, supplementing traditional energy production and use.
