Maximize Energy Savings With Cutting-Edge Solar Thermal Panels
If you’re looking for a solar option that offers impressive energy savings and reliable performance, consider solar thermal panels. These panels help you attain energy independence by powering your pool with energy from the sun. They’re more efficient than PV solar panels and offer long-term value for homeowners. Celestial Solar provides top-quality materials, and we have specialized expertise in all types of solar systems, so you get reliable service from technicians trained to install and maintain solar thermal panels. Give us a call today to find out if solar thermal panels are right for heating your pool.
How Solar Thermal Panels Work
Solar thermal panels work by converting energy from the sun into heat. Here’s an overview of how they do this.
Stage 1 - Absorption
Solar thermal panels are mounted on your roof to collect energy from the sun using either a flat panel made of metal or polymers or a series of glass tubes. Instead of turning this collected sunlight into energy like a PV solar panel, thermal panels transfer the heat to a circulating liquid below. Installation on a south-facing roof surface is most efficient because this area of a roof tends to get the most direct sunlight.
Stage 2 - Heat Transfer
Once captured, the heat from sunlight hitting your thermal panels warms a circulating fluid, which moves through the panels, collecting heat before moving into a storage system.
Stage 3 - Storage
All thermal panel systems use a storage system to hold the heat until it is ready for use. With solar thermal panels, the heated water is returned to the pool, so you can have a comfortable swimming environment.
Stage 4 - Utilization
Solar thermal panel systems are particularly useful for heating water for your pool. This type of system gathers energy in a solar collector to use to warm up a swimming pool, extending the swimming season.
Benefits of Solar Thermal Panels
Solar thermal panels provide benefits that other energy sources can’t.
Reduced Energy Costs
Solar energy tends to be highly efficient overall, and solar thermal panels are even more efficient than PV solar panels. Up to 70% of the energy from sunlight gets converted into heat with a solar thermal panel, compared to around 15% to 20% conversion with a PV panel. This means lower energy costs, especially when compared to traditional gas or electric heating.
Long-Term Durability
When installed by experts using high-quality materials, solar thermal panels can last up to 25 years, providing plenty of energy without the need for frequent replacement. Because your long-term investment comes with lower energy bills, you get eco-friendly power and monetary savings for decades.
Scalability
Solar thermal systems are scalable, so you can get exactly as many panels as you need — and adding more on if you expand or renovate later is simple. Thermal solar panels tend to take up less space than PV solar panels because of the increased efficiency. You need less roof coverage to get the same amount of heat. When you’re installing larger systems, you might even be eligible for government incentives, such as tax credits.
