SECCO Inc. is proud to meet your solar commercial needs with quality trained technicians that have years of experience and expertise. SECCO Inc. offers three different types
of solar energy systems.
Hydronic Solar (Heat)
Hydronic Solar (Hot Water)
Photovoltaic Solar (Electric)
Solar Hydronic Heat
There are a number of ways you can use active solar collector systems with
hydronic radiant floors.
- The simplest is to pump the heat transfer fluid from the solar collectors directly through the tubing in the floor. Some care must be taken to avoid under or overestimating the system's collector area-to-storage mass ratio. If this ratio is overestimated, there will not be enough heat; if you underestimate it, space can overheat. Our solar systems have the solar loop pump regulated by an electronic pump control.
- Many solar space-heating systems pump the heated liquid to a storage tank. The water in the tank is then pumped through the radiant floor piping. This type of solar radiant floor heating system uses a heat exchanger, similar to a solar thermal systems. This system provides much greater heat storage capacity and better control over floor temperature.
Hydronic Solar (Hot Water)
There are Two Types of Solar Water Heating Systems:
1. Direct Circulation Systems
Pumps circulate solar heated water through the collectors and into the building. They work well in climates where it rarely freezes.
2. Indirect Circulation Systems
Pumps circulate a non-freezing, heat-transfer fluid through the collectors and a heat exchanger. This heats the water that then flows into a building. They are popular in climates prone to freezing temperatures.
Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Electric)
Is the term used to describe the process of converting the sun’s energy directly into electrical energy. The sun’s energy is collected using photovoltaic solar panels. The electrical energy is DC (direct current), similar to that found in vehicle power outlets or from batteries. In order to use this energy in most homes, it must be converted to AC (alternative current). AC power is the type of electrical energy supplied by the commercial power grid. The conversion from DC to AC can be done using an electronic device called an inverter. The electrical energy from photovoltaic cells can be stored in batteries for use when there is no sun (during cloudy days or at night).
