With the installation of a thermal solar heating system, one is actively contributing to the lowering of environmentally harmful COČ emissions. A solar heating system has an unequivocally positive COČ balance compared to conventional water heating systems. COČ emissions from heating systems producing 3,500 kWh/a (meets the warm water needs of a four to five person household) and with a solar coverage percentage of 65% To avoid excessive COČ emissions, you should see to it that no electric heating systems come into operation. In contrast, the use of a solar heating system combined with efficient energy technology (a modern condensing boiler) with the lowest possible energy consumption is environmentally ideal. The period of energetic amortization (the time until the solar heating system has produced as much energy as was needed to manufacture the system) on a thermal solar heating system is between half a year and two and a half years. In comparison to that, conventional systems never pay back energetically. In order to make a certain amount of energy available, they need an even larger amount of primary energy.
