Solar Thermal Energy Advantages

The solar energy that reaches the earth within a few days is more than the estimated total fossil fuels on earth!

Reliability
It’s a perfectly mature and proven technology.

Decentralization

Creation of a fully autonomous system with the application of combined energies (Solar - Geothermal - fireplace).

Autonomy
Reduction of cost inefficient imported energy resources by using the zero-cost solar energy!

Development
Reinforcement of the domestic market will increase the quality of Greek products abroad enabling them to successfully compete with the harsh exporting environment.

Ease
Impressive installation simplicity of solar collectors.

Save money

The most simple and effective solution for all average consumers to limit their electricity expenses. An investment extending to a heating installation can be even more complete and advantageous.

Save energy

In Greece, the installed solar water heaters already save 1.1 billion kilowatt-hours a year. This number increases considerably with the continuous rise of solar space heating systems. Without the solar systems, there would definitely be significant energy deficiencies.

Environmental Protection
The solar energy use may prevent energy consumption coming from fossil fuels and thus decrease the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) which causes global climate change. A typical system that produces domestic hot water avoids the release of 925-1200 kg CO2 per year that would absorb 1.5 acre forest.

Some of the major benefits of promoting the use of solar thermal systems, in line with the directives of the European Association of Manufacturers (ESTIF), are the following:

 
> Benefits for the citizen:

- Economic benefits, improvement in the quality of life.

- Greater energy independence and predictability of energy household consumption costs.

- Personal and direct contribution to energy saving and environmental protection.

> Benefits for the country:

- Environmental protection and enhancement of quality of life. Economic benefits of energy savings, and the (ongoing) fine imposition of the country for not reducing emissions.

- Reduce energy dependence on other countries and from conventional fuel sources.

- Stimulating SMEs.

- View of the country at international level. Credibility, respect its commitments to the international community to reduce greenhouse gases.

- Strengthening of exports.
