Solar Air Heat
Solar air heating is a solar thermal technology in which the energy from the sun, solar insolation, is captured by an absorbing medium and used to heat air. Solar air heating is a renewable energy heating technology used to heat or condition air for buildings or process heat applications. It is typically the most cost-effective out of all the solar technologies, especially in commercial and industrial applications, and it addresses the largest usage of building energy in heating climates, which is space heating and industrial process heating.
Solar Seasonal Thermal Store
A seasonal thermal store (also known as a seasonal heat store or inter-seasonal thermal store) is a store designed to retain heat deposited during the hot summer months for use during colder winter weather. The heat is typically captured using solar collectors, although other energy sources are sometime used separately or in parallel.
Solar Greenhouse Root-Zone Heating: Greenhouse Solar Hydronic Heating or root-zone heating is a greenhouse production method that focuses on an optimum root temperature by distributing heat to bench and floor growing systems. It is an appropriate technology in the sense that it promotes energy conservation in modern greenhouse production. To warm roots, hot water is distributed through EPDM rubber tubing (also known as hydronic thermal tubing) or PVC piping laid out in a looping pattern. Though modern greenhouses typically use natural gas or fuel oil to heat water, alternative energy sources like solar thermal are one of the best economical alternatives long term. The benefits to plant growth from root-zone heating systems are well documented.
Solar PV Electric (Photovoltaic): A Solar PV Electric, or Photovoltaic system, converts sunlight to electricity. The conversion process requires only the sun’s energy and releases no harmful pollutants, which is why solar is sometimes called free fuel or clean electricity.
Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW): Solar Domestic Hot Water is a simple and cost effective means of using the suns energy to save you money. These systems are relatively simple and function year round. DHW systems are generally designed as 100% summer or 100% winter. A summer system provides plenty of hot water in the summer but production drops off as the days shorten. A winter system is sized to provide plenty of hot water in the cold of winter and will overproduce in the summer. For commercial scale winter systems excess summertime heat is dissipated or used to run a cooling or dehumidification system.
Solar Thermal Hydronic Radiant Flooring: Solar thermal radiant floor heating is an old idea that has been made new again. Many years ago, both the Greeks and Romans heated the floors of baths with wood fires. The concept makes perfect sense - heat rises, after all. Today, solar energy is used to heat water that runs through piping in the flooring. Floors have a thermal mass, so they act as a sort of battery, storing heat for long periods of time.
Hot Tubs: Hot tubs are perfect match for evacuated tube collectors. Generally you will be heating your hot tub year round so flat panel just wont due. One SPP-30A collector works well for most hot tubs and will offset most of the yearly heating load.
Pools, Seasonal: Outdoor seasonal pools are generally only heated during the summer months. As the air temperature in these months is usually above that of the pool temp desired cheaper flat plate collectors are often employed.
Pools, Year round: If you have an indoor pool that is in use year round Evacuated tube collectors are a perfect match.
