The outlook is sunny!
Modern solar equipment means that use of solar energy is no longer limited to just providing hot water, but can also be used to support space heating. It is simple and efficient using thermal store.
Best of all: the energy comes from the most reliable energy provider in the world,delivered free, for use in our homes. Even when there is no direct sunshine the sun’s rays are still delivering plenty of energy.This is acheived by storing the heat energy. Which is good, because conventional raw materials like oil and gas are becoming scarce – and more expensive. So the climate is ripe for being enterprising. You can save on heating costs and at the same time reduceCO2 emissions.
Adding more solar collectors, if they are of a design that will efficiently deal with summer overheating, will give carbon neutral energy. Efficient solar panels will start the solar heating season earlier in the year and extend it further into the autumn and adding even more will still give useful energy input in winter. Technology using a thermal store taking heat from a variety of sources, solar, wood, gas, oil or electricity will make the most flexible use of your energy, accumulating it for when you need it. That’s how to enjoy a sunny future! The 2006 Consolar Product Brochure (520 KB) explains what is possible. Tubo solar collectors chosen by the Belgian Antarctic Research Station because of their very high efficiency, especially at low outside temperatures. Consolar Solar Panels were "most adapted to colder regions, they were chosen for their reliability and high performance". Latest News March 2009 - Tubo 12CPC Collectors chosen for the new Belgian Princess Elizabeth Antarctic Research Station because of their excellent performance. In conjunction with three Solus Thermal Stores they will provide drinking water (by melting snow) heat and hot water. In recognition and celebration of this there is a special promotional offer on the Tubo 12 collectors. Visit AntarcticStation.org for more information >> Our motto is "Sun.
