Solar thermal energy systems work by using collectors, that are connected to your home, business, or off-grid cottage to harvest the sun’s heat and transfer this via pipes to a hot water tank.
How will solar thermal technology benefit me?
Investing in solar thermal technology is a great way to decrease our environmental impact.
Demand for solar thermal 'green' energy is naturally growing and offers a viable, preferred, money-saving, long-term alternative for domestic hot water, space and pool or hot-tub heating. Solar thermal systems are 4 to 5 times more efficient than electric Photovoltaic (PV) systems. A system can often pay for itself in 4-7 years (before available Canadian rebates for which Apricus products are eligible). Thereafter, the installed Evacuated Tube Collectors continue to provide decades of free heat with low maintenance even in our Canadian winters.
Solar thermal renewable energy technology is increasing in the building industry as an effective method of reducing energy consumption of fossil fuels and minimizing global carbon emissions. For space heating and domestic hot water production, solar thermal collectors can be a viable alternative since they can provide hot water with temperature ranges from 40 to 80◦C. Evacuated Tube Collector (ETC) technology has proven to be the most efficient technology for northern climates.
