Legend

Solar storage for hot water and heating Solar thermal systems are an essential factor in achieving the energy transition. Systems that run on fossil fuels, such as oil and gas heating, must be replaced with renewable systems. In thermal solar systems, the radiant energy of the sun is converted into heat and stored. Such storage is the central element of any solar power plant. The solar storage tanks from Jenni Energietechnik AG have an integrated boiler and heat exchanger. Together with the configuration of the special connections, these enable optimal temperature stratification. Such technology proved to be a milestone in the development of thermal storage systems in the 1990s. Thermal energy can be used for hot water processing, heating and seasonal storage.
