SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEMS
A typical hot water system consists of flat plate collectors, a thermal storage tank and piping. Solar radiation is absorbed by the collector and the heat collected is transferred to the storage tank. The flat solar collectors are usually mounted on the roof of the building, facing south and tilted 30°-60° to the horizon, to maximize the amount of radiation collected annually.
Apart from household use, which is the most common today, active solar systems can be used wherever low temperature heat is required. Thus, the use of solar energy to produce cooling, for the air conditioning of spaces and other applications, appears to be one of the promising prospects, due to increased solar radiation, especially during the time cooling loads are required. There have already been some successful applications of such systems in our country and it is expected to have rapid growth.
Another application that has been widely popular in the European market is the combination of hot water and space heating with active solar systems. The use of such systems in Greek climate conditions for the heating of spaces has been considered both technically and economically efficient, if combined with the right building design/construction (proper insulation, use of passive solar benefits, etc.) and a cooperative user. It can save conventional energy in new or old buildings, in which all possible measures to minimise losses and maximise cost effectiveness have been taken into consideration. It is however very important to properly design the solar thermal system and to carefully consider the installation budget to avoid making wrong choices and to optimize efficiency, something that our company is able to undertake.

EP CL2-200/2x200ga MODEL CHARACTERISTICS
Solar thermal systems (forced flow systems) are the newest application for powering your home with solar thermal energy. The three main components of a solar thermal system are: the solar collectors (flat or vacuum), the free-standing hot water storage tank (boiler) and a special device that includes the pump and the automatic central control system (solar station).
The major advantages of a solar thermal system are as follows:
• Higher performance due to better solar thermal energy circulation from the collector to the boiler thanks to the use of the pump.
• Ensured unlimited hot water 24 hours a day due to the smart operation of the solar station control system and the large storage capacity of the boiler.
• Discreet and aesthetically pleasing installation which takes the architecture into consideration, as our collectors “lie” on the roof or are placed at a lower height on the terrace, while the tank is installed in the engine room.
