Generating Energy

Solar heat: Energy for every home

With Schüco, the sun's energy can be used to generate heat in every home. You can permanently reduce your heating costs while at the same time increasing the value and desirability of your property.

There is a Schüco solar thermal solution for every home. Regardless
of the orientation and slope of the roof surface, up to 70% of the energy required to heat domestic hot water can be generated with a solar thermal installation. For additional auxiliary heating
it is up to 30% of the total heating energy.

Complete heating system

Maximum reduction of costs

By adding a gas condensing boiler, Schüco solar heating packages can be upgraded to a solar energy centre, for the hot water supply alone, or also to provide auxiliary heating. You can start by working with your existing boiler and then replace this later.

• Energy savings from hot water
  provision: up to 70%
• Energy savings from heating:
  up to 40%
• Collector surface: 10.25 - 13.55 m²
• Thermal output:
  Solar thermal: 3.0 - 10.0 kW
• Gas condensing boiler: 15 or 25 kW
• Thermal storage cylinder: up to 1,000 litres
• Including solar station and control unit

Correct installation by our Schüco partners

Simple design.

Our mounting systems are flexible and corrosion-resistant. We only use high-quality aluminium and stainless steel components. They can be perfectly tailored to the requirements of your roof construction.

On-roofmounting system:
for existing surfaces

Our Schüco collectors are installed on mounting rails, which are secured using roof anchors.

Flat-roof mounting system:
for bungalows and garages

Our Schüco collectors are secured here on brackets, at the optimum angle. There is no need to penetrate the roof covering.

In-roof mounting system:
seamlessly integrated

For this installation, our Schüco collectors replace the roof tiles. This creates a particularly attractive appearance.

Complete roof mounting system:
for world-champion savers

The complete roof installation is a special version of the in-roof installation. The combination of collectors and PV modules as well as roof windows are used instead of a conventional roof covering.

In the basement, gallery attic or utility room to save space

Our Schüco solar station and control unit, thermal storage cylinder, buffer storage cylinder, fresh water storage cylinders, heat pumps or gas condensing boilers are suitable for almost all available spaces.

Intelligent control for optimum operation and maximum outputs

Maximum efficiency.

Schüco solar stations and control units control the whole solar heating installation and optimise connection to any heating system. We also offer a wide range of high-quality thermal storage cylinders.

Automatic setting:
Solar station

Solar stations control the flow of solar fluid from the collectors into the solar storage cylinder. The solar outputs can only be effectively fed into the storage cylinder where volume flow is optimised. Schüco solar stations continually measure the volume flow and automatically select the optimum setting for any operating state. There is no need for the installer to set the volume flow manually, as is otherwise usually required.

Demand-driven circulation: Solar control unit

Solar control units allow demand-driven circulation. This means that when the tap is turned on, the pump switches on and hot water is fed to the tap. The pump then switches itself off again automatically. This avoids heat loss and power consumption is minimised by the pump.

Always the right solution: Thermal storage cylinders

Combination storage cylinders offer the highest efficiency class for solar heating installations for auxiliary heating. They are particularly suitable for use with Schüco heat pumps due to their large heat exchanger surfaces. Integrated convection control valves prevent heat loss. The variety of models and designs provide perfect solutions for every project - from small to large family homes.

Save money and protect the environment

Potential for saving with solar heating

As a result of the large proportion of renewable energy and the high efficiency of the gas condensing boiler, operating costs are reduced by up to 40% when compared with conventional systems. The reduction in CO₂ emissions means effective protection for the environment and for the climate.
