It's 7 o'clock.Four people are taking showers at home.
Hot water for the whole family, heated by the sun. A Pleion solar thermal system connects to your existing system and helps it use less energy.

Every shower shows up on the utility bill.
What's your house like?
Hot water is an everyday expense. You can reduce it without changing anyone's habits.
How it works, in three steps.
The sun heats the water on the roof.
The collectors capture the sun's heat and transfer it to a storage tank in the house. With natural circulation systems like EGO, you don't even need pumps or control units.
Hot water is waiting in the tank.
The one that was heated at noon is ready for the evening showers.
The boiler just does the rest.
If the water is already hot, there's no need to turn it on. If that's not enough, add the rest. Just turn on the faucet as usual.
Photovoltaic systems generate electricity. Solar thermal systems directly heat water.

Solar thermal energy isn't for everyone. Here's when it's a good idea.
It is less cost-effective for those who live alone or as a couple and use little hot water. In apartment buildings, a resolution by the residents' association is required.
It depends on the roof and energy consumption. Solar thermal systems heat water directly, without using electricity, and the two technologies can also work together. The installer will compare the options for your home.
The comparison is based on the available roof space, the number of people in the household, and the current system.
Yes, but it doesn't cover as much. In the summer, the sun heats almost all the water; in the winter, the boiler has to work harder. That's why the solar system is always connected to the system you already have, and you never run out of hot water.
Vacuum tube collectors operate even at low outdoor temperatures.
Less than you might think. Just a few solar collectors are enough to provide hot water for a household: two were installed in a home in Abruzzo.
The number of collectors is calculated based on the number of people in the household and energy consumption.
Solar thermal is a simple, proven technology. In natural-circulation systems like EGO, there are no pumps or control units. The installer will tell you what checks to perform on your system.
An installer in your area will continue to monitor the system even after it has been commissioned.
Yes, there are tax credits and the Conto Termico program for solar thermal systems. The installer will help you figure out which ones you're eligible for.
