Renewable energy - household solar systems
|
As part of the Bosch group, Worcester is
committed to environmental protection. Product development is prioritised in
the interests of the safety of people, the economical use of resources and
environmental sustainability.
With this in mind Worcester is proud to offer
a solar panel package for hot water heating which allows the consumer to
take advantage of renewable and sustainable energy.
Worcester Greenskies FK240 Solar Panels
harness the power in both direct and diffuse sunlight and convert the energy
to heat for the production of hot water for the home.
The solar panels have been designed as a
complement to existing heating systems which use a store of hot water in a
cylinder. The existing cylinder is exchanged for a cylinder with two heat
exchanger coils; one from the boiler in the property and a second from the
solar panels.
The Worcester Greenskies FK240 Solar Panels
are an ideal partner to the new range of condensing
Greenstar regular and system boilers,
with different models available in both oil and gas, which require a
separate cylinder for the storage of hot water. When used together a
Greenstar boiler with solar system provides a highly efficient system to
give heating and hot water comfort.
A typical well sized solar system should
provide around 50% of the domestic hot water requirements of a home,
representing a very worthwhile saving on hot water heating costs. The
remaining hot water requirement is provided by the boiler.
