Worcester’s Greenskies solar panels harness the power in both direct and diffused sunlight, converting the energy to heat, to produce hot water for the home. A typical well-sized solar panel system should provide around 50-70% of the annual domestic hot water requirements of a home, representing a very worthwhile saving on hot water heating costs. Greenskies solar panels have been designed as a complement to existing heating systems which use a store of hot water in a cylinder. The existing cylinder is exchanged for one with two heat exchanger coils: one from the boiler in the property and a second from the solar panels.

If your central heating system provides a store of hot water in a cylinder, Greenskies from Worcester Bosch is very good news – because it means you now have the opportunity to make significant savings on your hot water heating bills. Greenskies solar water heating can supply 50-70% of the hot water you use every year. The remaining portion of your hot water demand will be provided by your central heating boiler in the normal way. Installing Worcester Bosch Greenskies solar panels provides immediate savings on your fuel bills and major benefits to the environment. There are also special financial incentives available to you, as explained in this leaflet.


 

Worcester Bosch quality assurance

Only the finest materials and components are used in the manufacture of all Worcester Bosch products. Combined with advanced technology and innovative design, this ensures that your Greenskies solar water heating system will give many years trouble-free service and excellent long-term value for money.

The myth about solar energy

Many people are under the common misconception that solar energy can only work in conditions of bright sunshine and high temperatures and is therefore unsuited to the British climate. Greenskies solar panels operate on the principle of light absorption and are not dependent on high temperature or long spells of unbroken sunshine. A special coating on the absorber ensures that the system is effective even on cloudy days.


Worcester Bosch commitment to sustainable energy

In the light of global warming and climate change, developing sustainable energy resources has never been more important. As the UK’s leading boiler manufacturer, Worcester Bosch is leading the way in the search for  renewable and sustainable energy solutions which can benefit customers and the environment.

Global responsibility for nature and the environment

The Bosch Group operates worldwide and has been committed to environmental protection for more than 30 years. Every Bosch location around the world prioritises product development in the interests of the safety of people, the economical use of resources, and environmental sustainability.


Key Product Features
:

• Sustainable energy: unlike energy produced by consuming and depleting the earth’s deposits of fossil fuels (gas, oil and coal), solar energy works on the principle of harnessing freely-available radiation from the sun (which is only half way through its expected 10-billion-year life cycle).
• Environmentally friendly: unlike fossil fuels, solar energy produces none of the effects of carbon dioxide emissions or other kinds of environmental damage. Furthermore, all materials used in the making of the Greenskies solar panels can be fully recycled.
• Simple, clean, effective technology: Greenskies solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into heat, pumped directly into your hot water cylinder. The electricity used by the pump is your only running cost!
• Proven technology: Greenskies solar systems are based on technology that has been working successfully in Europe for more than 20 years.
• Very efficient: Greenskies solar glass has exceptional light-transmission values.
• Suitable for any home: Greenskies can be installed on sloping and flat roofs.
• You’re in control: the Greenskies system includes a control, which enables you to set the hot water temperature you require with ease.
• Easy to look after: Greenskies requires minimal maintenance, simply check the controls and fluid during your annual boiler service.
• Worcester Bosch quality: Greenskies has all the built-in quality and reliability for which Worcester Bosch, one of Europe’s leading domestic boiler manufacturers, is renowned.
