Solar Thermal Energy – Renewable Energy for Community Projects
An increasing number of community centres are installing solar water heating panels to cut down on the overall energy usage. Schuco solar thermal panels are a good choice as they are not easily damaged because they are made from toughened glass and are not as susceptible to damage as the evacuated tube type of solar water heating, and over the year are just as efficient.
With some intelligent design and attention to detail solar thermal panels can be integrated with other renewable energy products to produce a significant reduction in environmental impact.
Solar Thermal Panels – County Durham
The Schuco Solar Thermal System of 6.9m2 (in collector size) provides approximately 360 litres of hot water per day. The Schuco designed panels are the ultimate in flat plate solar technology and are very neat and compact in design.
Due to the complexity of the installation we installed two combi cylinders in the loft totalling 280 lites which fed into the other water stores within this large property.
The central government grant of £400 can be claimed after a Solar Thermal installation has been completed. In this instance as Hugh lives in the Wear Valley area he was able to receive another grant from the Wearvalley Council, details overleaf.
