Advanced Energy Systems Development is available to design and install a solar thermal system to meet the hot water and heating needs of your home or business.  Advanced Energy Systems Development bases their designs on the time tested equipment manufactured by Schuco(www.schuco-usa.com), CONERGY(www.conergy.com), Global Resource Options(www.globalresourceoptions.com), Apricus(www.Apricus.com) and SUNWIZE(www.sunwize.com). 

Advanced Energy Systems Development is an authorized dealer and installer of Schuco, Apricus, Purist Xantrex, SMA and Uni Solar equipment and systems.

The major applications of solar thermal energy at present are heating swimming pools, heating water for domestic use, and space heating of buildings.  For these purposes, the general practice is to use flat-plate solar-energy collectors with a fixed orientation (position).

There are many flat-plate collector designs but generally all consist of (1) a flat-plate absorber, which intercepts and absorbs the solar energy, (2) a transparent cover(s) that allows solar energy to pass through but reduces heat loss from the absorber, (3) a heat-transport fluid (air or water) flowing through tubes to remove heat from the absorber, and (4) a heat insulating backing.
