Contact us for all of your solar needs whether its for a domestic house or hot water on the farm for the milking shed, we have the expertise to install the system that will best suit your needs. Residential solar thermal installations fall into two groups: passive and active (sometimes called "pumped") systems. Both typically include an auxiliary energy source (electric heating element or connection to a gas or fuel oil central heating system) that is activated when the water in the tank falls below a minimum temperature setting such as 55°C. Hence, hot water is always available. The combination of solar water heating and using the back-up heat from a wood stove chimney to heat water can enable a hot water system to work all year round in cooler climates, without the supplemental heat requirement of a solar water heating system being met with fossil fuels or electricity. |
