Solar Water Heating in Denmark
Solar water heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collectors and a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to its point of usage. The system may use electricity for pumping the fluid, and have a reservoir or tank for heat storage and subsequent use.
The energy we use every day emits harmful greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change. Electric water heating is the biggest contributor to household greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for around 25% of the average homes carbon footprint.
With solar water heater which uses the sun’s natural energy you could save up to 50-90% of your water heating energy consumption, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 3 – 3.5 tonnes every year, which is the equivalent of taking a 4 cylinder car off the road.
