What is Solar Technology?
This technology uses solar collectors to transform sunlight into heat
to provide space and/or, more commonly, water heating. A correctly
sized solar water heating system will cover 50 to 60% of your hot
water heating requirement with free solar energy. Today over 3 million
households use a solar heating system in Europe. (SEI Ireland).
How do Solar Systems work?
A solar panel produces water by transferring sunlight into heat
through it’s solar panels. The heat is then stored in a large
hot water cylinder so that it is available for use whenever it is
needed. A Solar panel not only converts direct sunlight but also
indirect sunlight into heat -so it works even when overcast
