Solar Thermal Energy

Daikin Solar Systems feature the latest solar thermal technology to harness renewable, free energy from the sun. The Daikin Solar range is suitable for domestic hot water preparation for domestic and light commercial use in addition to other applications such as pool heating, industrial refrigeration, heating and electricity.

The installation of solar thermal energy is very cost efficient due to the large reduction of fuel and electricity, resulting in saving a great deal of energy. This results in having great economic savings, which allows you to pay off installment fees.

Installing solar thermal energy is actually very cost efficient and will end up paying for it self. It saves a great deal of energy because it uses less fuel and electricity. The economic savings are huge which means customers are able to pay off the installment fees with the money they have saved on their energy bill. The repayment period varies between 5-10 years, depending on several factors such as user consumption, the amount of aid received and the installation location. Another advantage of this system is its easy maintenance, which is much easier than standard systems.

A solar thermal installation basically consists of the following elements, whose functions are described below:

  • The Collection System: transforms the solar radiation into internal energy of the fluid running through it.
  • The Accumulation System: stores the internal energy which the installation produces.
  • The Exchange System: transfers the heat into fluids which circulate among different circuits.
  • The Transport/Circulation System: made up of pipes, drive elements and thermal features designed to transport the energy produced.
  • The Support System: this element provides support for the solar installation supplementing the solar input in periods of low solar radiation or when energy demand is higher than usual, ensuring the user will always have enough energy regardless of the weather.
  • The Control System: guarantees the proper operation of the whole system.

The solar energy collection is classified into the following:

  • Low temperature: flat solar collector, for hot water, heating or air conditioning, gets temperatures below 80º
  • Medium/High temperature: mirrors or lenses, to produce electricity, gets temperatures 300-800º
