Solar Thermal & Thermodynamic
Solar Heated Water
A typical installation would provide enough hot water to cover the sanitation requirements in a wash / toilet block for transient visitors to a leisure / caravan park. The installation would replace current grid supplied immersion systems for exterior mounted heat transfer units and small scale PV array to power pumps (daytime only). Approx 3kW array provided.
The New Generation Solar thermodynamic system is capable of taking energy from the atmosphere even at sub-zero temperatures day or night. It does this by utilising a special refrigerant.
Our systems are capable of extracting sufficient warmth to heat domestic and commercial hot water cylinders to 55°C even on the coldest winter days. The very best modern gas or oil boiler can only achieve maximum efficiency levels of 95%, the New Generation Solar thermodynamic system has a much higher efficiency; this translates into clean, secure and free energy. Great for you, great for the environment.
Similar to solar water systems, thermodynamic systems offer continuous hot water from the ambient air temperature.
Installation
- heat transfer units / collectors
- calorifiers
- pipes with insulation
- motors
- small scale PV
- arrangement costs

Planning Permission
Planning permission is not usually required for solar heaters, but if you want to roof mount the panels in a conservation area or roof mount the panel on a property facing a main highway you will need to contact your local authority.
Maintenance
The thermodynamic system uses a 407A refrigerant which doesn’t need topping up. Occasionally, a sacrificial anode in the cylinder could require replacing in areas with soft water.
