Thermal Store

The thermal store is at the heart of a renewable energy heating and hot water system with major cost and servicing benefits compared to Combi Boilers and un-vented mains pressure cylinders.

Integrating Several Fuel Sources

Many of our solar installations and hybrid systems have been integrated through a thermal store.  The beauty of it is that it allows you to collect water heated by several means such as a solar thermal panel, air source heat pump, ground source heat pump, wood burner, range, as well as a conventional boiler.  It will supply domestic hot water at mains pressure and warm water underfloor/high efficiency radiator heating systems.

Great Features!

The Solar Conect, and Powertech Solar Ltd, Multi Fuel Thermal Store features excellent twin plate insulated heat exchangers which provide domestic hot water at mains pressure on demand.  There is no scale build up inside the store and there are no coils as all energy inputs are direct * , for fast heat transfer efficiency.  All thermal stores include immersion heaters as backup in 3-6kW outputs.

Made to Order
Solar Conect, and Powertech, Thermal Stores are designed to meet individual household demands for hot water.  Sizes range from 185 litres to 900 litres.  They are available with on-demand mains hot water systems as an alternative to other commercial unvented sealed systems.
