Schüco Solar Thermal Technology for “Habitat for Humanity”
Schüco recently lent a helping hand to Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit housing organization dedicated to providing affordable housing to families in need. With fuel bills rising, many families are struggling to pay their utility bills.
Partly to demonstrate the effectiveness of our solar thermal technologies and partly to help needy families reduce their energy costs, Schüco partnered with a local member of our solar installer network to provide a complete solar domestic hot water system free of charge.
Schüco helped a needy family to reduce their energy costs
Schüco donated three Slim V collectors, a solar pump station and solar storage tanks as well as associated installation equipment. The solar installer is donating its time to install the system. In addition, the Schüco sales and engineering departments are giving their time to help install the system. The result is a high-performance solar thermal system for producing hot water.
Habitat for Humanity is a globally active charitable organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing worldwide. It builds and renovates simple, decent homes with the help of homeowner families, through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials. Solar thermal technology from Schüco is the perfect way to heat water and generate cost-free power from the sun year after year.

‘Schüco was outstanding during the whole process. Everyone who participated was hands on, had some tools and was ready to install. This really impressed me as an integrator to have a manufacturer directly involved in an installation. I believe that Schüco is a company that has a lot of integrity which is rare these days.’
