THE SOLAR ENERGY
It is a green
energy
Everybody can
use it
It saves our
money
Untapped energy
Can be used in
several forms
In 60 min. the sun provide energy to
the earth more than the human use in
One year.

How to store the
solar energy for
evening and night
use?
We need
to heat
in winter
What if it
is a

day?
Can we do
it without
installing a
boiler?
YES WE CAN

SYSTEM AND EQUIPMENT
The remaining heat is stocked
in a big buffer tank for
continuous use.
The domestic hot water is
charged by the.
Many heating source can be
connected to the buffer, like
heat pump, solid fuel boiler or
even a gas boiler.
A smart use of the hot water
stratification in the buffer result
in more energy saving.

COLLECTIVE SYSTEM
Improved energy efficiency, plus
flexibility of use.
The solar energy and other sources are
cached in a central buffer.
Each user can chose the mode
using the solar energy, for
domestic hot water, radiators or
floor heating.
A heat meter can be added to
allow an exact calculation of the
water and energy consumption of
each dwelling
