Renewable Energy Systems
Renewable Energy Systems-Solar Thermal
There are 2 types of panels on the market – those that convert the sun’s radiation into electricity – photovoltaic panels, and ones that use the sun’s energy to heat water for a property – Solar Heating Panels. Solar Thermal Panels are a source of renewable energy systems up to 60% of your hot water needs.
Energy from solar radiation is one of the best known forms of renewable energy. It’s free, usually plentiful in supply and available throughout the year – more in the summer months, less in winter. This energy is captured through the installation of solar panel technology.
Benefits
- Solar panels can provide up to 60% of a property’s DHW requirements throughout the year, though it’s most efficient in the summer months.
- Solar power can be collected and used as renewable energy systems which are an easy way of reducing your carbon footprint.
- Sunlight is free energy, therefore helping to reduce hot water production costs.
- No special building regulation permission is required when installing solar panels helping comply with building regulations.
- Integration of Solar Panel arrays into DHW and an underfloor heating systems is easily accommodated.
- From plans, Encompas can ensure the best choice of renewable energy systems is specified to give you years of trouble free use.
