Solar thermal energy installation in combination with district energy systems is experiencing a high growth.
The large scale solar thermal systems, which are 4-6 times more efficient than individual installations on housing, can generate from 15-80% of the annual energy consumption, depending on storage capacity.
The energy cost for the solar part will be fixed at a low level resulting in predictable and competitive cost of energy towards the users as well as a reduction of CO2 emissions.
The solar thermal plant is easily integrated in the existing system, it is fully automated and maintenance free.
The fact is that large scale turn-key solar plants by Sunmark give you:
At the same time it reduces the dependency on unpredictable ever rising energy cost from fossil fuels displaying a green and sustainable profile.
Denmark is leading within many areas of green and clean energy technologies, that also applies when it comes to large scale solar thermal plants integrated with the district energy supply. There is great focus on the highly energy efficient “Danish model” when developing new city areas or renovating existing energy systems for example steam based district heating.
