Solar Power and Solar Energy in Ireland

Genersys Ireland solar panels are powered by sunlight. It does not have to be direct sunshine - there is sufficient solar energy in a cloudy day for the solar panels to collect enough thermal energy to heat your hot water.

When sunlight strikes the solar panel the light is absorbed into the panel and the Genersys solar heating system converts that thermal energy into heat. This heats up the heat transfer fluid in the copper heat transfer pipe. When the temperature in the solar panel is higher than the temperature in your hot water cylinder a digital controller in the heating system activates the pump. The heat transfer fluid in the heat pipe pumps heat into your cylinder that heats up the water. When you have sufficient hot water in the cylinder the pump stops - your own solar powered water heater.

We estimate that Genersys Ireland's Solar Collectors will harness enough solar power to produce around 70% of your hot water requirments over a year. Naturally, they will produce more thermal energy in summer when the days are long and less in winter - the 70% is an approximate overall figure based on average hot water usage.

Call Genersys Ireland today to see how a solar panel installation can benefit your home or business, and how harnessing solar power will effectively save you money on power and energy bills. Its important to remember in this age where such emphasis is being placed on identifying and using alternative energy sources that not only are you benefitting the environment, but you too will be better off economically in the long term as your traditional energy bills decrease.
