SOLAR THERMAL
Why Solar Thermal?
Reduce costs. Lower carbon. Future-proof your building.
The Problem
- Energy prices are rising.
- Hot water demand is increasing.
- Heat pumps alone can be expensive to run at high loads.
The Solution
Solar thermal directly offsets hot water energy use.
Why Now?
- Net zero targets
- Planning requirements
- Rising gas/electric costs
30-50% hot water coverage
Lower operational cost
Long system lifespan
What is Solar Thermal?
A simple way to generate hot water using the sun.
How Solar Thermal Works
Solar collectors capture heat from sunlight.
→ Heat transferred to water
→ Stored in cylinder
→ Used in building
What it’s Used For
✔ Hot water (primary use)
✔ Pre-heating systems
✔ Industrial processes
Key Benefits
Lower energy bills
Carbon reduction (net zero alignment)
Energy price protection
Works with existing systems
What’s the Difference Between Solar Thermal and Solar PV?
Solar thermal = heat
Solar PV = electricity
Where it Works Best
High hot water demand buildings
Consistent using patterns
