Catch Solar EnergyGamle Ringeriksvei 56, Bekkestua, Akershus, Norway

The sun is a free, environmentally and climate-friendly energy source that can be harvested and used locally. In Norway, heating makes up a large part of energy use in buildings.

Solar panels convert the energy in the sun's rays directly into heat, which is four times more efficient than going the way of electricity. Solar collectors can be connected to the existing water-borne heating system. Use our solar energy calculator to calculate your energy needs, how much solar energy you can produce and what efficiency utilization you can achieve by using our solar collector. Geographical location, number of hours of sunshine and orientation in relation to the direction of the sky are decisive factors for the efficiency of a solar heating system.

There are many benefits to utilizing solar energy for tap water and waterborne heat. The heat can be stored in a hot water tank or in heat wells when the heat demand is lower than the production. To ensure sufficient energy for heating, it is appropriate to combine solar heat with biofuel, geothermal, district heating or electricity from solar cells.
