How does a solar boiler integrate into my system?
If I have a conventional boiler
Parallel integration
The easiest way to integrate a solar boiler is to do it in parallel. In this way, when the sun shines, it is the solar boiler that is responsible for producing the heat needed by the factory or storing it for future use. When there is no sun, and the storage is empty, it is the conventional boiler that takes over production. Learn about the types of side-by-side integrations here.
I do not have a conventional boiler
100% solar installation or with a hybrid boiler
A 100% solar installation needs storage and must be designed keeping in mind that the production must fit the solar profile of the location. If your process does not have that flexibility, or you need to use a fluid that is difficult to store (such as steam for example), we recommend using a hybrid boiler. These boilers combine a conventional burner with solar production in the same boiler body. Contact us for more information.
