Producing hot water while reducing the gas bill is simple, just harness the power of the sun!

Solar thermal systems represent an efficient, innovative, and sustainable solution to produce hot water and, if integrated with other technologies, also a heating system for buildings.

Solar thermal systems can be of natural circulation or forced circulation.

Natural circulation solar thermal system

The natural circulation solar thermal system is the most common and easiest to install solution. Its function is to store the heat absorbed by the photovoltaic panels thanks to solar radiation and, through a heat transfer fluid that moves the heat upwards, transfer it to the water accumulated in the tank placed above the panels.

These systems can be placed on roofs or terraces and are the ideal solution for those who want to produce hot water and save on bills, using only clean energy sources.

Forced circulation solar thermal system

The forced circulation system is a more elaborate plant engineering system that uses a separate storage tank from the solar panel and an "intelligent" electronic control unit that controls and regulates the temperature.

This greater complexity allows it to have a better yield and a different longevity compared to the natural circulation system, as the tank is not exposed to the weather and the control unit does not allow the water to overheat, avoiding malfunctions, damage, or problems related to limescale deposits.

The forced circulation system is also can provide a greater amount of hot water and, therefore, is more suitable for large systems that also allow adequate heating of the rooms.

The choice between a natural circulation system and a forced circulation system varies according to the consumer's needs, but in both cases, the solar thermal system represents an intelligent and advantageous choice that allows energy autonomy, economic savings, and almost zero environmental impact.
