PV panels utilise both forms of solar energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic.
The Benefits:
- The solar thermal section of the panel is able to provide the vast majority of a dwellings hot water while the photovoltaic section harnesses the suns energy to power the pumping station. As a result little or no electricity is required from the dwelling to pump the fluid around the hot water system.
- The other great benefit that these panels have is that they are designed to be retro-fitted to gravity fed hot water systems. In the case of other solar panel solutions a a new un-vented solar hot water cylinder is required.
- This solution can also be converted to operate on un-vented systems making the panels incredibly versatile for a wider range of energy users.
