Solar Thermal Energy Storage (TES)

08 March, 2013

TES is the temporary storage of thermal energy for later use, bridging the gap between energy availability and energy use. Using conventional solar collectors one can provide not only hot water but also as a low grade under floor heating utilising +27ºC (81ºF) Phase Change Material (PCM) containers can be provided, eliminating the need for any other heating source.

PCM energy storage offers environmentally friendly, short pay back and effectively energy/fuel free heating solution.
