Worcester Solar FKC-1S 2 Panel On Roof Installation Package


Buy at www.orionairsales.com


A new and exciting way to provide you with total hot water comfort
Worcester’s Greenskies solar panels harness the power in both direct and diffused sunlight, converting the energy to heat, to produce hot water for the home. A typical well-sized solar panel system should provide around 50-70% of the annual domestic hot water requirements of a home, representing a very worthwhile saving on hot water heating costs. Greenskies solar panels have been designed as a complement to existing heating systems which use a store of hot water in a cylinder. The existing cylinder is exchanged for one with two heat exchanger coils: one from the boiler in the property and a second from the solar panels.

If your central heating system provides a store of hot water in a cylinder, Greenskies from Worcester Bosch is very good news – because it means you now have the opportunity to make significant savings on your hot water heating bills. Greenskies solar water heating can supply 50-70% of the hot water you use every year. The remaining portion of your hot water demand will be provided by your central heating boiler in the normal way. Installing Worcester Bosch Greenskies solar panels provides immediate savings on your fuel bills and major benefits to the environment. There are also special financial incentives available to you, as explained in this leaflet.

Worcester Bosch quality assurance

Only the finest materials and components are used in the manufacture of all Worcester Bosch products. Combined with advanced technology and innovative design, this ensures that your Greenskies solar water heating system will give many years trouble-free service and excellent long-term value for money.

The myth about solar energy

Many people are under the common misconception that solar energy can only work in conditions of bright sunshine and high temperatures and is therefore unsuited to the British climate. Greenskies solar panels operate on the principle of light absorption and are not dependent on high temperature or long spells of unbroken sunshine. A special coating on the absorber ensures that the system is effective even on cloudy days.


Worcester Bosch commitment to sustainable energy

In the light of global warming and climate change, developing sustainable energy resources has never been more important. As the UK’s leading boiler manufacturer, Worcester Bosch is leading the way in the search for renewable and sustainable energy solutions which can benefit customers and the environment.

Global responsibility for nature and the environment

The Bosch Group operates worldwide and has been committed to environmental protection for more than 30 years. Every Bosch location around the world prioritises product development in the interests of the safety of people, the economical use of resources, and environmental sustainability.


Key Product Features:

Sustainable energy: unlike energy produced by consuming and depleting the earth’s deposits of fossil fuels (gas, oil and coal), solar energy works on the principle of harnessing freely-available radiation from the sun (which is only half way through its expected 10-billion-year life cycle).

Environmentally friendly: unlike fossil fuels, solar energy produces none of the effects of carbon dioxide emissions or other kinds of environmental damage. Furthermore, all materials used in the making of the Greenskies solar panels can be fully recycled.

Simple, clean, effective technology: Greenskies solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into heat, pumped directly into your hot water cylinder. The electricity used by the pump is your only running cost!

Proven technology: Greenskies solar systems are based on technology that has been working successfully in Europe for more than 20 years.

Very efficient: Greenskies solar glass has exceptional light-transmission values.

Suitable for any home: Greenskies can be installed on sloping and flat roofs.

You’re in control: the Greenskies system includes a control, which enables you to set the hot water temperature you require with ease.

Easy to look after: Greenskies requires minimal maintenance, simply check the controls and fluid during your annual boiler service.

Worcester Bosch quality: Greenskies has all the built-in quality and reliability for which Worcester Bosch, one of Europe’s leading domestic boiler manufacturers, is renowned.

Solar panel has world's highest energy conversion efficiency rate of 21.6 percent

A manufacturer of what is believed to be the world's most efficient solar units announced on February 1 that the cells have achieved MCS accreditation and are now ready for use in the UK.

SANYO Component Europe GmbH (SANYO) produces the HIT series of photovoltaic cells, including the N 220SE10 which, to date, has the world's highest energy conversion efficiency rate of 21.6 percent.

On February 1 the company announced that the HIT cells had passed MCS accreditation. MCS accreditation is bestowed upon companies by the independent Microgeneration Certification Scheme, which certifies small scale or 'mircogeneration' technologies that are used to produce heat of electricity from renewable resources.

Though the HIT Series of cells are already commercially available throughout mainland Europe, MCS accreditation is required before products can be released into the UK market.

For consumers the MCS accreditation essentially means that consumers can use the HIT cells under the Feed In Tariff (FIT) scheme - a Europe-wide financial incentive rewarding those who install power generating renewable energy devices connected to the grid.

This is of benefit to consumers as the high efficiency rate allows more power to be generated using fewer cells and also means that less roof space is required to generate solar power- which increases the opportunities for renewable energy generation for those where space is an issue. The 'N' series of HIT modules will be commercially available from March 2011.

Other renewable energy companies from around the world will be showcasing the latest in renewable and energy efficient technologies at a series of upcoming exhibitions including), EXPO Solar in Goyang, South Korea (February 16-18), the Renewable Energy Expo in Lyon, France (February15-18) and Eco Build in London (March 1-3).

Eco Build attracts over 1,300 exhibitors and 41,000 visitors from around the globe and is used by companies as a launchpad for their new products. At Eco Build 2011 numerous photovoltaic companies including Emmvee, the Ideal Group and Mitsubishi plan to launch their latest innovations in the field of solar power.

Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has installed an 85 kW photovoltaic system on the roof of Makita Corp.'s main factory in Takamatsu City, Japan

Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has installed an 85 kW photovoltaic system on the roof of Makita Corp.'s main factory in Takamatsu City, Japan.

The PV system, which is the first for Makita, will begin generating electricity later this month, according to Mitsubishi Electric. Electricity generated by a total of 448 PV modules installed over a surface area of 700 square meters will cover approximately 3% of the manufacturing, air conditioning and lighting requirements at Makita's marine diesel engine factory.
