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.
A new forerunner project on the large scale solar thermal market in which Savosolar has been involved: The first solar thermal field with double glasses collectors on trackers. This innovation has been done to optimize the annual solar production with a limited available area. This new solar thermal plant is a property of newHeat and will delivered heat the network of the city of Pons, which is managed by Dalkia.
Savosolar supply on this project consist in the complete solar field field as a turnkey solution, it means, the design, the supply and the installation of the solar collectors and its trackers, as well as the piping, until the solar station. It represents 112 Savo 15 DG-M collectors, which will reduce of 210 tons per year the CO2 emissions for the city’s heat needs.
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.
Savosolar’s first commercial solar cooling system was delivered to a school in Ukraine. The entire school was pre-fabricated in Finland and delivered to Ukraine by Elemenco Oy.
Outside of the cooling period, the solar thermal system produces energy for domestic hot water and space heating needs. During the hot summer time, three adsorption chillers cool the building via the air handling unit. The adsorption chillers, which were delivered by Savosolar, are driven by the solar thermal system.
