In the context of growing concerns about climate change and the need to adopt sustainable energy sources, solar panels for hot water have become an increasingly popular and viable option. These innovative technologies not only benefit the environment, but also provide significant benefits for individual users and communities. Here’s why using solar panels for hot water is considered a smart and sustainable choice:
The sun is an infinite source of life and energy. Every year, the solar energy radiated in Romania is 1,740 kWh/m2. Taking into account the potential of this type of energy, we can exploit it using a solar panel of 20 tubes through which you can heat 200 liters of water daily.

Benefits of solar panels
- Investing in solar panels for hot water in the long term proves to be extremely profitable. By using free solar energy to heat water, users can significantly reduce their monthly energy bills. In many cases, solar hot water panels can cover all or part of a household’s hot water needs, meaning substantial long-term savings.
- Solar hot water panels use the sun’s free and inexhaustible energy to heat water. This method eliminates or significantly reduces the need to use fossil fuels such as natural gas or electricity from non-renewable sources. By reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, the use of solar panels helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming.
- Reliability and Durability: Solar hot water panels are designed to withstand varying weather conditions and have a long lifespan. They require little or no maintenance and have low operating costs. Compared to other water heating systems, which can be subject to failure and require frequent repairs, solar panels offer a reliable and durable solution in the long term.
THERMOSTAHL launches a new range of revolutionary products – Solar Panels!
In our continued quest to provide sustainable and innovative solutions, we have made the decision to bring this cutting-edge technology to help you enjoy the benefits of solar energy in your own homes or businesses.
The range of SOLAR PANELS is diversified, having both flat solar panels, with vacuum tubes and solar systems.
How does a solar panel with vacuum tubes work?
When the sun hits the roof panels, they transfer the energy to the heat transfer fluid inside the collector.
The transfer fluid evaporates, and the hot vapors rise to the condenser, where the heat transfer to the water takes place. As a result of this process, the cold vapors condense and descend.
In order to benefit from a maximum absorption of light intensity, the collectors must be positioned to the south, or with a deviation of up to 45o to the South-East or South-West. The recommended angle of inclination is 45o.
What does a solar system mean?
To produce domestic hot water, a solar system is needed that includes:
- Solar panel with vacuum tubes
- Pitched roof support
- Hot water boiler with 2 coils and electric resistance
- Pump group
- Electronic controller
- Solar expansion vessel
- Automatic solar aerator
- Antifreeze liquid
If you already have a boiler with 2 coils and a heating source (central, solid fuel boiler, etc.), the solar panels can be integrated into the existing installation.
In conclusion, the use of solar panels for hot water not only brings substantial individual benefits through cost savings and energy independence, but also has a positive impact on the environment and the community as a whole. With ever-evolving solar technologies and the support of governments and communities, using solar energy to heat water can become a mainstream and essential solution for a more sustainable and prosperous future.
