6 Solar PV 1 Solar PV Ideal photovoltaics Solar photovoltaic, or solar PV, is a technology in which solar energy is converted into electricity which is then used to power homes and businesses, operating electrical appliances and lighting. The system allows any excess electricity generated to be exported back to the electricity grid or stored in batteries for off grid areas. Solar PV panels work well in both urban and rural areas. They are also capable of generating electricity on cloudy days as they only need daylight to work, not necessarily sunlight. Solar PV reduces usage of fossil fuels and housing carbon emissions. The panels produce green energy that will significantly reduce the cost of energy bills and provides independence from energy providers. The use of photovoltaic can generate revenue as power that is generated and exported back to the electricity grid receives a direct payment through the UK Feed in Tariff. 2 3 Ideal PV solar system 1 A solar PV module panel is made up of a number of polycrystalline cells that are wired together and convert energy gathered from sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. 2 A PV cell consists of two thin layers of semi-conducting materials (generally silicon). When sunlight shines on the PV cell it knocks electrons from the orbits of the semi-conductor in sufficient numbers to generates the DC electricity. 3 With the aid of an inverter, DC electricity is converted into alternating current (AC) power, electricity that is required to run electrical appliances in the home Solar PV

7 On and off the grid solar photovoltaic systems PV collector 200N and 205N These photovoltaic modules are first class and surpass all the quality standards in European markets. The modules comprise high efficiency polycrystalline solar cell mounted on a six inch wafer base and are manufactured using the very latest equipment. Innovative testing ensures exact technical performance data for each individual module. The solar modules with power of 200 and 205 Wp are delivered with aluminum frames and junctions. A Tyco junction box is fixed as standard. Only top-quality solar modules leave the production line. These solar modules, designed for high output of power and profit, are mainly used in systems coupled with on grid systems. On grid solar PV system On grid solar PV systems are the most common type of installation. In the case of on the grid installations the electricity produced during the day is used by the property with the excess being exported back to the utility provider. At night, electricity is supplied via the normal utility grid system. Main components: PV array (several PV modules) Mounting system DC isolator and cabling AC isolator and cabling AC/DC inverter Meter Off grid solar PV system Off grid solar PV systems are used where connection to the electricity is not possible or proves to be too costly. In this case sizing the installation is critical to ensure a complete power supply is available when required. Batteries are used to store the electricity that is produced during the day. This electricity is then used at night when there is no solar energy available. Part number: TSPV 200 NWp TSPV 205 NWp Solar PV

8 New Energy Solutions Solar PV accessories Selecting your PV solar system We have taken the headache away from specifying the right solar PV system thanks to a series of pre-prepared kits that come with all the key components needed to achieve a quick and straightforward installation.

9 Air source heat pumps Airtherm Air source heat pumps Heat pumps are recognised by the Government s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and show significant carbon emissions savings over other forms of space and water heating. Even in low ambient temperatures, if frost builds up on the evaporator due to moisture in the air, the unit will automatically defrost itself to maintain operation. Designed for external use, the Ideal Airtherm range offers an unobtrusive, simple and cost effective renewable energy solution for new build and retrofit installations alike. The Ideal Airtherm range is approved under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). Air source heat pumps use the renewable heat energy in the air, and via a refrigeration circuit that captures the latent heat of evaporation, transfers that energy in to medium temperature hot water. This clean and sustainable heating solution, provides an ideal solution for well insulated properties without a gas supply, or looking to reduce their CO 2 emissions. The Ideal Airtherm has been designed to provide a simple and dependable solution; delivering up to 100% of the annual heating and domestic hot water for a wide variety of properties. It is designed specifically to operate in the UK climate, on new or existing installations. Ideal Airtherm heat pumps provide an excellent efficiency performance with coefficient of performances (COP) of up to 4.0 under specific conditions. The COP varies between 2.0 and 4.0 dependent on external air temperatures, humidity and the required heating temperatures. The COP reduces as the external temperature decreases and as heating temperatures increase, it particularly suits underfloor heating. Ideal Airtherm can provide hot water up to 65ºC ensuring there is no need for electrical heating backup and delivering complete homeowner comfort and peace of mind Air source heat pumps

10 How does an air source heat pump system work? Applications Monovalent applications The heat pump can be sized to provide 100% of the heating requirement on the coldest day of the year, plus 100% of the annual DHW requirement in applications with low temperature space heating requirements. This makes an air source heat pump ideal for new build properties, or retro fitted into highly insulated existing dwellings. The process is as follows: 1 The evaporator The evaporator collects heat from the outside air, which has been pre-heated by the sun. The air is drawn into the unit by the fan. Liquid refrigerant (R134a) passing through the evaporator is at a considerably lower temperature than the outside air, causing the air to transfer its heat to the refrigerant which evaporates it and also captures the latent heat. 2 The compressor The preheated vapour then passes to the compressor, where the gas is compressed and raised to a much higher temperature and pressure. 4 The expansion device The refrigerant is further cooled and its pressure reduced by passing the liquid through an expansion device, from where it returns to the evaporator to repeat the cycle. INSIDE HOME 3 2 CONDENSER 4 Airtherm can efficiently provide required volumes of water to service the dwelling s heating and hot water loads. A buffer tank ensures even temperatures and defrost capacity. Defrost cycles are a maximum of four minutes per hour and not above 4ºC ambient outside temperature. Bivalent applications Retro fitting to existing properties whilst retaining an existing boiler as an additional heating capacity does not need to be a problem. The Airtherm heat pump can be sized to provide a variable proportion of the annual heating requirement, for example 80% with the existing boiler integrated to deliver the balance on the coldest days. This type of system design and application provides the homeowner with an ability to balance the initial capital cost of installation with the benefit of reduced running costs. 3 The condenser The hot gas from the compressor now enters the condenser where it exchanges its heat to return water from the heating system - giving hot water to the system. The cooled refrigerant in the condenser returns to a liquid, although it remains under high pressure from the compressor. COMPRESSOR 1 EVAPORATOR OUTSIDE AIR EXPANSION DEVICE Air source heat pumps

12 Ground source heat pumps Groundtherm How does a ground source heat pump system work? Ground source heat pumps work on the principle of transforming the solar energy from the ground into a useable energy that can be used in a home. This is achieved by placing a heat exchanger (a collector which can be of varying forms) into the ground adjacent to the property and simply allowing it to absorb the solar energy from the immediate ground around it. The ground source heat pump circulates water (with anti-freeze) through the ground collector. The water absorbs energy and passes it to the heat pump in the following manner. Ground source heat pumps The process is as follows: 3 The condenser Ground source heat pumps have been shown to provide significant carbon savings compared to conventional forms of space and water heating. Ideal s ground source heat pumps have been developed specifically with the UK housing market in mind and provide the perfect solution for reducing the carbon footprint of both new built and existing dwellings. Our ground source heat pumps are Along with saving energy and preserving fossil fuels, the use of ground source also provides the perfect water and heating solution for new built and existing homes that are offgas. The heating and hot water are managed by a standard central heating programmer with a room thermostat controlling the heat output in exactly the same way as with a conventional boiler. The pumps have higher efficiency levels because the ground provides a constant 1 The evaporator The water from the ground collector circulates through the evaporator in the heat pump. There it transfers its heat to liquid refrigerant passing separately through the evaporator, causing the refrigerant to evaporate. The water returns to the ground collector to be heated again in a continuous cycle. 2 The compressor The preheated refrigerant vapour passes to the compressor, where it is compressed and the gas The hot gas from the compressor now enters the condenser where it exchanges its heat to the return water from the heating system, giving hot water to the system. The cooled refrigerant in the condenser returns to a liquid, although it remains under high pressure from the compressor. 4 The expansion device The refrigerant is further cooled and its pressure is reduced by passing the liquid through an expansion device, from where it returns to the evaporator to repeat the cycle. maintenance free and can heat a home and source of energy. is raised to a higher temperature and pressure. at the same time are designed to supply domestic hot water at 65 C, without the need for electric heating back up.
