With this new solar thermal plant for newHeat, Savosolar add a new leading reference in the French market of solar district heating. This approximately 3,000 m2 solar thermal field (aperture), will allow to replace 2,410 MWh of former gas heated heat by renewable heat on Narbonne’s city network, manage by a subsidary of Dalkia.
Savosolar, on the behalf of newHeat, built mainly the whole solar plant, from the solar collector’s field until the outlet of the heat exchanger to the storage thermal tank, ie: solar field, piping and solar station. More then 200 of our Savo 15 SG-M collectors, ensuring a high energy yield while reducing 510 tons of CO2 emissions per year from the district heating system of the city. The production of solar field during winter will even allow an increasing of the yield of the existing biomass boiler.

Bad Rappenau, Germany (largest flat plate collector plant in Germany)
Summa Energy has been selected as general contractor to build a +20 MW solar thermal system on behalf of Bauer Holzenergie GmbH for its district heating network, which supplies households and an industrial process for drying fruits with healthy heating. Only about 1,800 pieces of Savo 16S large scale high performance flat plate collectors are sufficient to getting combined with an 8,000 m³ heat storage tank and
provide carbon free heat for the needs of all connected consumers.
Additionally, a PV system will be built on site to generate the electricity consumed by the solar pumps, thus
unburdening the local power grid.
Mikkeli city, the home of Savosolar received the “Inspiring Solution Award” in 2018 Celsius City Summit for the Ristiina Village project. It is a green district heating energy concept with a clever combination of solar thermal and wood chips.
Savosolar was involved in this award winning project by delivering turn-key solar district heating installation to the Ristiina district heating plant.
A Finnish district heating company Elenia Lämpö Oy invested in Savosolar solar thermal system to produce CO2-free energy for their customer, which in this case is a nursing home located in Hämeenlinna. The heat is used for domestic hot water and pool heating.
The installation is the biggest operational solar thermal system in Finland.
