Solar thermal is the collection, storage, and use of heat from sunshine to make hot water. It is one of the most efficient means of using solar energy. Think about how hot your car gets when you park it in the sun – with a thermal system, you capture this energy and make it work for you.

There is a huge amount of energy in solar radiation, and the sunshine on one square foot in one year is equal to the energy in 2.5 gallons of oil. Even on cloudy winter days, two or three collectors can easily supply all the hot water for an average family and can make a substantial contribution and cut utility bills. Two or three collectors can easily supply all the hot water for an average family on sunny days.  

 

 

How it works

 

 



  • The sun heats a non-toxic, freeze-proof solar fluid in a solar collector on the roof.
  • The collector detects that the solar fluid is hotter than the water in the hot water tank.
  • A pump in the Solar Station pumps solar fluid from the collector to the hot water tank.
  • The solar fluid flows through a pipe coiling inside the hot water tank and heats the water in the tank.
  • The hot water is available for use in the house.
  • The solar fluid is pumped back up to the collector, where it is once again heated by the sun.
