Solar thermal energy: the secret champion of the heating transition
The use of solar thermal energy in building energy technology offers many advantages. The sun provides an enormous energy potential every day, which in Germany exceeds primary energy consumption many times over. Compared to fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas or crude oil, which are limited, solar energy is practically inexhaustible. This makes solar systems a sustainable, climate-friendly and future-proof source of energy.
The cost efficiency and environmental protection of a solar system speak for themselves
Solar thermal energy can make companies and households less dependent on fossil fuels such as heating oil and natural gas. With a solar thermal system, operators can reduce their energy costs and protect the environment at the same time. This is because, unlike burning fossil fuels, using a solar thermal system to generate heat does not produce any emissions that are harmful to the environment or the climate. This reduces the ecological footprint.
It also reduces your energy costs. The heat supplied by the solar system relieves the other heat generators and thus saves heating oil, pellets or natural gas. As solar energy is free of charge, it can make a significant contribution to reducing a building's energy costs.
What solar thermal energy offers you
Cost reduction:
- The sun shines on your solar system for free, saving you energy costs
- Solar thermal energy thus makes you less dependent on the price fluctuations of fossil fuels
Protect the climate:
- Solar thermal energy does not cause any emissions, the solar system works CO2-free
Solar thermal energy - a system component that we master
For over 40 years, varmeco has been dealing with solar thermal energy, the control of domestic hot water heaters, the optimum loading of a Buffer tank and the intelligent linking of all system components of a heating and hot water system. The result is a coordinated product portfolio that includes, for example:
- The VarCon380 system controller, which pursues a holistic system approach and coordinates a solar thermal system with the other components of a heating system.
- The station VARIO sol-nova, which integrates the solar thermal energy into the overall system and enables a high yield from the solar thermal system.
- The VARIO fresh-nova-instantaneous water heater that heats drinking water hygienically.
- Our new product, the eXergiemaschineIt can raise thermal energy at a low temperature level to a higher level and make it more usable for the heat supply. This increases the yield of a solar thermal system when the sun's intensity is low, for example.
