Solar ECS - over-production ?!




by president13 » 17/09/18, 16:19

Hello everybody

I have a water baloon that is partly heated by 2 solar panels and by the boiler itself for the complement.
In winter, the panels provide about 20 ° (does it seem good?), The boiler heats the complement to reach 60 °.
In summer, the panels easily provide the 60 ° (and could provide much more!), The boiler does not heat up for supplement.

As a result of what .... I think I have an over-sized installation in the summer ... and I wonder if some have ideas of how to exploit these panels or energy over-plus for another use?
Every idea is welcomed :)

merci,

The common use is to heat a pool ... when you have one.

Otherwise, there is also this:


More power in winter and protection against overheating in summer :D

hello gaston,
thank you for these returns :)
so :

- I have a pool actually. I had already thought about heating it with the surplus (although summer ... it reaches easily 32 degrees!) but with the bubble cover so if I can heat it in the same way, it could avoid me The tarpaulin). However, I have panels with coolant and this solar installation and on the other side of the house. What is the ideal installation for heating the pool with this type of installation?

- concerning the photo, I did not understand anything : Oops: what's this? a plancha? : Lol:

A heat exchanger on the filtration circuit of the pool.

Yes that, I think I understood :)
After practice ... I do not see how. Do I have to make a secondary circuit of the pool that reaches the solar installation and that heats up with a heat exchanger? or something else? And how to block the exchange if needed? because otherwise there will always be losses to the pool, even in winter.

ah, it does not show up on my browser, I'll see tonight :)
but I have my idea now ...

Yes, you have to make a circuit either from the pool to the installation or from the installation to the pool.
And we must provide valves to isolate this (s) circuit (s) in winter.

OK, thanks.
looking at the moment, I came across this montage that looks interesting:

the interest is to use the coil of the heating part (not used in summer) and to divert it towards the swimming pool where one places a heat exchanger water / water swimming pool. Attention, I saw the price .... sit down ... at least 1000 € .... : Shock:
I think doing it yourself would be better. By cons, it will make a ml of tube! 8)

Just a stainless steel heat exchanger (supporting pool chlorine) costs that price :?

yeah..
I found a nude here:

not to mention all that must be added from above ....
it is expensive the little comfort and more to swim in October with a pool at 28 ° ...

otherwise, another idea (it's a low gain but it can still be interesting):
- use the surplus to preheat the water in the washing machine?

Seductive indeed :)
But then exit the regions with almost permanent wind!
But the idea is really good!
On the other hand, what about the ROI?
