JSC Installations Solar Thermal systems are a cost effective and virtually corbon neutral renewable energy solution. We design thermal systems to suit the needs of a variety of customers, from pre-heating domestic hot water systems to supplying solar heating solutions for swimming pools and commercial premises. Our qualified plumbers and system designers can find the solution you need, within the budget you can afford. Why Solar Thermal?Hot water accounts for around 8% of our energy use in the UK, a solar water heating system (solar thermal) uses a solar collector, normally mounted on a roof, to capture the energy from the sun to heat water the two main types are flat plate collectors and evacuated tubes. There are many variations in design of the system, but they all make use of the same principles. The two main systems are either:
Both these systems can be direct or indirect, with a direct system being one where the water used at the taps is circulated through the system, and an indirect system is one where a heat transfer fluid is used instead to pre-heat water tanks. The demand for hot water is year round and in the summer months when there is still a large demand for hot water, a solar thermal system can potentially provide all the hot water required without additional heating from electrical or gas sources, even in the winter months a correctly designed solar thermal system can provide a useful contribution to the overall hot water needs. Solar hot water systems can be extremely efficient, reducing costs and energy consumption. For a solar system to work, all they need is daylight as they can collect both direct radiation, direct sunlight on clear days, and diffused radiation, light which is present on cloudy days.
