Renewable Energy Solar Water Heating Systems

 

Solar panels

Solar panels harness the power in both direct and diffused sunlight, converting the energy into heat, to produce hot water for the home.

The solar panels have been designed to complement existing heating systems which use a store of hot water in a cylinder and they are a perfect partner to Worcester’s Greenstar regular and system boilers.

A typical well-sized solar panel system should provide around 50-70% of the domestic hot water requirements of a home.

Ground source heat pumps

A ground source heat pump is an electrically powered system that uses the natural energy stored in the earth to heat your home. The principle is simple, and the result is low-cost comfortable heating that uses sustainable energy and causes no direct emissions or other damage to the environment. Worcester’s Greenstore ground source heat pumps are suitable for a variety of different properties and are designed to be the sole source of heating and hot water in the home.

For every single kilowatt of electricity used to power the ground source heat pumps, this system could generate four kilowatts or more in energy for your home, whilst helping to conserve the earth’s dwindling supplies of non-renewable fossil fuels – coal, gas, and oil.

Air source heat pumps

Air source heat pumps offer significant savings compared with a conventional heating system. The air source heat pumps convert the free and sustainable latent energy in the air into heat, delivering green, low-cost, energy-saving heating and hot water all year round.
