Igneus supply two types of solar thermal technology, evacuated tube solar panel collectors and flat plate solar panels.
Solar panels are effective throughout the year as they utilize diffuse light and not just direct sunlight - this is especially true for evacuated tube collectors.
- Creating renewable energy using solar panels is invaluable for businesses with a high hot water requirement:
-
- Hotels
- Leisure Centre's
- Sports Facilities
- Spas
- Guesthouses and B&B's
- Nursing Homes
- Housing estates and apartment blocks
- Solar panels are also relevant for sports clubs and tourist based businesses such as B&B's where hot water requirements peak during the summertime.
- On average solar panels in Ireland can produce 60% - 70% of the annual DHW requirement and up to 100% of the hot water requirement during the summertime.
- Solar panel energy creation is easily integrated with standard oil/gas boiler systems or with other renewable energy systems.
- Use of a solar panel is low maintenance.
- Solar energy also reduces your carbon footprint.
- A solar panel increases the annual operating efficiencies of a heating system because boilers operate on low efficiency during summer when just producing hot water.
Solar energy can also be used for space heating in conjunction with low temperature applications such as under floor heating systems. If the solar panels are correctly sized, the solar energy system can produce up to 40% of the annual heating load as well as producing 60% - 70% of the hot water load.
Igneus's main focus is on supplying to the trade and also designing and installing commercial and industrial solar thermal systems using solar panels.
