Solar thermal panels are less hi tech than solar pv.
Combined pvt solar panels.
This is good news as without goverment interference prices will come down.
By combining these two proven technologies we are able to increase the efficiency of the pv panel by drawing the heat away and using it in the household water heater radiant heating system or heat pump.
Citation needed heat is the largest energy end use in 2015 the provision of heating for use in buildings industrial purposes and other.
Pv panels lose efficiency as they get hotter.
We all need to look to investing in tax free energy and the future is solar pvt combined with a thermal store and a ground source.
They use the heat of sunlight to warm up water which can then be used inside the building.
Solar energy is a clean abundant and sustainable form of primary energy that can address the energy problem simultaneously from economic environmental health and security perspectives and the realisation of affordable solar energy systems has been widely acknowledged as a global engineering grand challenge.
Solar thermal systems aren t just useful in warm climates.
Solar pv is pretty much a plug in and play option and requires very little maintenance.
Within a european framework.
Solar angel offers high performance renewable energy generation at an affordable price the panel has a slim profile and looks great but still manages to have a sizeable 250 wp electrical output and 648 wpth thermal output this dual generation panel can be fitted in either a portrait or landscape configuration and offers two different mounting methods on roof and flat.
