Solar heating - heat for free

Solar heating - green, convenient and money saving

Solar heating is along with solar electric power generation a modern way to avoid atmosphere contamination and all the risks resulting for earths climate. In addition solar heating saves severe amounts of money. The drastic rise of mineral oil and natural gas prices in the past years will continue and sharpen dramatically. This is common opinion of all relevant experts.

Technical systems for solar heating available today are safe, reliable, highly efficient and affordable for everybody having better ideas than burning their money through the chimney.

Two ways of solar heating

Passive solar heating is when the building itself is capable of letting the suns infrared heat radiation in and keep it inside. Todays architecture has a well filled toolbox to design so called passive houses not needing additional heating energy. Some keywords: proper positioning of the building, outer shape, transparent heat insulation, special one way windows, heat exchanging ventilation system.

Active solar heating uses solar heat collectors containing a transport liquid, normally protected water, taking the collected heat to a heat storage. In private homes, hotels and restaurants solar heat heats the rooms, drinking, bathroom and kitchen water as well as washing machine water.

Important details in solar heating installations

Higher efficiency of your solar heating installation means more heat at less cost. A proper and complete heat insulation is as important as high efficiency state of the art approved components. The more heat actually is transduced by the solar heat collectors and the less heat is lost by convection and conduction the more heat energy reaches the solar heat storage and this is where we want it to power your room heating, bathrooms and kitchens. Solar heat collectors made by manufacturer SOLVIS rank on top in quality and efficiency.

New heat absorber makes solar heat collectors top efficient

Heat absorbers of Solvis made solar heat collectors SolvisCala and SolvisFera are made from a special durable aluminium alloy panel and laser welded copper tube packs on the rear side. The special laser welding process generates wide contact areas resulting in an excellent heat conductivity.

The SolvisCala and SolvisFera solar heat collectors yearly solar heat harvest ranks on top of all available flat solar heat collectors. This makes them a first choice in solar heating and drinking water in particular when combined with a solar heat central of the same quality class like the SolvisMax.
