Photovoltaic thermal system
Photovoltaic thermal energy, with SOLNET
What is photovoltaic thermal?
A photovoltaic thermal installation is a system that combines the production of electricity from photovoltaic technology and the production of heat from thermal technology to make more efficient use of solar energy and reduce environmental impact.
This type of system uses photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity from sunlight accompanied by a solar thermal collector to capture the sun’s heat and heat water or air.
Uses of photovoltaic thermal energy.
Sanitary hot water
Energy savings
Heating, floor and radiators
How is the process of photovoltaic thermal installation with SOLNET?
Solnet, will evaluate your consumption of hot water and heating and the conditions of the place where you are (hours and position of the sun) to propose the photovoltaic thermal installation you need. Once the location, consumption and all the necessary technical data are clear, the photovoltaic thermal system is installed, the thermal panels are installed on the roof or on the ground and connected to the necessary electrical and plumbing outlets. A monitoring system is also installed to control the operation of the system and verify its energy production. Finally, an inspection and test is performed to make sure the system is working properly. And thanks to this photovoltaic thermal installation you will now be able to transform solar energy into hot water, which will help reduce costs and maintain a home or business in a more sustainable way.
Below, in this image, you can see the process in a summarized and visual way:
Frequently asked questions about photovoltaic thermal systems.
Do you have doubts about the photovoltaic thermal installations that we perform in Solnet?
Don’t worry, we leave you some questions that you may need to solve.
How long is the lifetime of a photovoltaic thermal system?
The lifetime of a PV thermal system can vary, but in general, solar thermal panels are estimated to last 25 to 30 years. Other system components, such as the inverter, may have a shorter life and need to be replaced sooner.
Where can a photovoltaic thermal system be installed?
Solar thermal panels can be installed on a roof by using special brackets that are attached to the roof. They can also be installed on the ground by using special brackets and structures. The installation process varies depending on the location and specific site conditions.
What is the warranty on a photovoltaic thermal system and its components?
The warranty on solar thermal panels and other system components varies depending on the manufacturer and type of component. At Solnet we generally offer a 2 year warranty after installation.
What is the difference between a photovoltaic and a thermal photovoltaic system?
The main difference between a photovoltaic thermal installation and a photovoltaic one are the panels and the energy conversion system. With the photovoltaic installation you will generate electricity to transform it into whatever you need, the thermal photovoltaic will transform the energy into sanitary hot water for everyday use or heating.
Are there any subsidies or grants for photovoltaic installations?
There are different incentives and/or subsidies. It will always depend on the size of the installation, the season and the area.
What size photovoltaic thermal system do I need for my home or business?
The size and capacity of a photovoltaic thermal system depends on energy consumption and site conditions. At Solnet we perform a custom evaluation to determine the right size and capacity of the system for your home or business.
What is the return on investment for a photovoltaic thermal installation?
The return on investment of a PV thermal system can vary depending on system size, installation cost, energy consumption and other factors. In general, a PV thermal system is expected to generate a positive return on investment within 5 to 10 years.
