Project Abstract[]
Current solar thermal systems are only achieving 60% of HOT WATER and do not contribute to home heating at all. The Terawatt Solar Thermal Tracker delivers 85% hot water & 60% of home heating needs and 100% domestic air-conditioning needs.
Currently solar thermal manufacturers are restricted to installing a certain size of systems due to high sun rays in summer months hitting the tubes and causing high temperatures and over heating the system. Our system is stand alone that can track the sun which creates 46% more energy than fixed systems and our patent pending sensor prevents overheating by moving the array away from the sun at high temperatures. The average household oil bill is £1050 per year and with grants available and savings accounted for customers can earn £13615 over 7 years. With solar thermal not recognised we need to educate customers on the savings, the product and also look at options of product development in particular the aesthetics of the system.
