District heating

Guangzhou

Savosolar has been selected to deliver a tracker mounted solar thermal plant for the district heating of Nansha, Guanghzou, China. The system is combined with a geothermal seasonal storage and a chiller (not in Savosolar’s scope of supply) which allow the owner to deliver healthy energy, both heating and cooling, to its customers.

Flecks Brauhaus

Brewing is a very suitable application for solar thermal systems, because of the relatively low temperatures used in several production phases.

In the brewery of Flecks in Frohnleiten, a solar thermal system with Savosolar collectors is used to support the hot water production required by the brewing process. The heat from the collectors is stored in four 3,000 litre water tanks for later use in the brewing process. The mounted collectors also act as a rain shield.

Palau-del-Vidre

In collaboration with Eiffage Energy Systèmes, Summa Energy is providing a solar thermal plant on trackers to supply heat to the greenhouses of Les Serres Vermeil, an organic vegetable grower located in Palau-del-Vidre, France.
Summa Energy with provide a turnkey solar thermal field of 396 Savo15S collectors, as well as all the engineering of the plant and the supervision software.

Oulun Seudun Sähkö

Savosolar delivered -once again- the largest solar thermal installation in Finland. This system is located way North in Tupos, Liminka – less than 200 km from the Arctic Circle.

The heating load of Tupos district heating is usually covered by wood pellets. Yet during summer time, the load is often so low, that the substantial wood pellet burner cannot be properly used and an oil burner got used, instead. The special challenge here has been to design a very efficient solar thermal system that could replace the oil consumption in summer to run the district heating network almost completely fossil-free.
