Solar gain will help their efficiency but the panels are designed to work without it so the direction the panels are facing is not an essential consideration.
Thermodynamic solar system uk.
This innovative system uses reverse thermodynamic refrigeration technology to convert heat from the atmosphere into hot water for your property using a weather protected and lightweight aluminium panel compressor heat exchange and a hot water cylinder.
Our hot water system is designed specifically for the uk climate and works 24 hours a day 7 days a week even at night.
Here s how the combi thermodynamic solar system works.
Thermodynamic panels contrary to solar panels or solar thermal panels do not necessarily need direct sunlight as thermodynamic systems absorb the heat from the ambient air.
Get to know all energie solutions and products for climatization heat pumps and domestic hot water.
No planning permission required in most domestic cases.
A thermodynamic solar panel is a type of air source heat pump that uses a flat plate collector instead of a large fan to take energy from the air.
Do i need planning permission.
Obviously it does help if the sun rays reach the panel but this is not mandatory for effective hot water production.
Do thermodynamics work in the uk climate.
Because the system doesn t need direct sunlight it works better than more traditional methods.
Lloyd hester who runs green serve uk a distributor of thermodynamic systems questions how useful narec de s results are for the industry saying they were only valid for the system it had.
Provides domestic hot water 24 7 without the need for fuel and costing in the region of 30 60 a year to run.
Thermodynamic water heaters use a compressor to transfer the collected heat from the panel to the hot water system using a refrigerant fluid that.
This means the thermodynamic solar panel gains energy from the sun as well as the ambient air.
