We provide Solar PV-T installation to homes across Essex and Suffolk. Our experienced team take pride in providing expert technical support and first-class customer service.
Solar PV-T combines solar PV and thermal technologies to create a panel that generates electricity while heating your water supply. As a result, they are popular for homeowners with limited roof space as PV-T installations require fewer panels than a PV and thermal install.
Solar PV-T combines two renewable energy technologies into a single panel, providing you with low carbon electricity and heat.
Get in touch with our friendly team to find out how simple it is to install an Solar PV-T at your premises.
Solar PV-T (photovoltaic thermal) collectors convert solar energy into thermal and electrical power. They achieve this by combining solar PV and thermal technology, making them more efficient than solar PV systems.
PV (photovoltaic) cells typically have an efficiency of 15 to 20%, meaning 60-70% of the energy is converted to heat which increases the temperature of the PV cells. The increase in temperature makes the cells less efficient.
In contrast, PV-T collectors transfer heat away from the PV cells to a fluid. This fluid then cools the cells, making them more efficient. In fact, Solar PVT systems generate three times more energy than the same-size PV system.
Solar PV-T combines two renewable energy technologies into a single panel, providing you with low carbon electricity and heat.
Typical solar installations require solar PV to provide electricity and solar thermal to heat your water supply. This means you need two types of panels on your roof. However, because solar PVT combines the two technologies, you can maximise your roof’s efficiency.
Solar PV-T systems require specialist installers experienced in PV-T technology. These systems are more complex than PV and thermal installations alone.
At Vomax Energy, our technicians undergo intensive training across multiple manufacturers to ensure every system is installed professionally and provides maximum efficiency for your home. Get in touch with our service team to find out if solar PV-T is suitable for your home.
