Solar Thermal Water Heating Solutions
High-performance PVT (Photovoltaic Thermal) collectors that generate both electricity and hot water with up to 89% efficiency.
The Most Efficient Solar Panel per m²
Unlike standard PV panels that only capture 20% of energy, our PVT PowerCollectors with aHTech® technology achieve up to 89% efficiency by capturing both electricity and thermal energy from the same surface area.
How Solar Thermal Works
1. Absorption
Solar collectors absorb sunlight and convert it into thermal energy
2. Transfer
Heat is transferred into water or specialized heat-transfer fluid
3. Storage
Heated water stored in high-grade insulated tanks for later use
4. Supply
Hot water supplied to bathrooms, kitchens, and industrial points
Result: Zero electricity dependency for water heating during daylight hours
Integrated System Components
Our PVT systems are fully integrated with heat pump technology to deliver 100% renewable hot water, even during load shedding.
