Solar energy

Solar thermal energy is responsible for harnessing the energy received from the sun with the sole purpose of generating heat, whether to heat water or other elements.

In this specific case, the items we show you in this section are ideal for heating the water we use at home, whether in the shower, dishwasher, taps, or any other use you want to give it.

Characteristics of solar thermal energy

1. It is a renewable energy, and therefore, unlimited. Its production is based on harnessing solar radiation in the form of heat.
2. Highly recommended for DHW installations, heating, or for swimming pools.
3. Energy and economic savings at home thanks to solar energy.
4. 
   

How solar thermal energy works

Solar thermal energy works in such a way that through solar collectors that collect a certain amount of water, they will be responsible for transforming its temperature to the one we desire. This change will be made by collecting solar rays on a photovoltaic panel to later use this energy in heating the water.

In this way, we will have water at home without the need for economic expenditure, as it only requires the intervention of the sun.

What solar thermal energy systems exist

When choosing the solar thermal energy system to install at home, we must consider the different systems available on the market. With various options to choose from.

Natural Circulation

Also known as thermosiphonic, the natural circulation system is responsible for the movement of hot water by gravity, where the main installation is carried out in the domestic sphere due to the low water storage capacity.

It includes advantages such as being a simple system, not requiring large installations, or not needing additional energy for its operation.

Forced Circulation

In this forced circulation system, a water pump and a control system are used to circulate the heat transfer fluid within the collector, and in this way, heat the water.

Some of the advantages are that it has a quick start-up, greater installation flexibility, and depending on demand, the number of collectors can be increased.

What is solar thermal energy

If you are still wondering what solar thermal energy is or what it consists of, you should know that it is responsible for harnessing the sun with the sole purpose of producing heat and increasing the temperature of the water we have in a tank, as well as for use in showers and other elements that use hot water at home.
