Thermodynamic Solar: Yes/no

Superbar

Hi,
Without trying to attract those people who work for a certain company relating to these products who seem to pop up regularly on this.
Does anyone actually have any first hand experience of these Thermodynamic solar panel systems? would love to know if they are good?

Hi,
I've installed the 250 litre version of this panel approx june last year. what would you like to know? i disconnected my oil from my cylinder by installing this system.oil only provides radiator heating now as the panel gives me all my hot water when i need it.2 of us in house and have enough water for large bath and shower in 1 day with some left over. if we both have showers in morning it takes about 2 hours to recover water again, but theres still enoujgh hot water for at least 3 more showers. by evening time enough for bath & at least 2 power showers also. anything else you need to know let me know.hope this helps?

Hi guys
seen these at a show on Sunday. they seem to be quite good from my expereince with solar. am doing a new build at the moment and am wondering the same question.
how are you finding running costs per year?

Nearly a year installed,i monitored it for 8 weeks once we'd settled in. The plug monitor registered just under €16-by my reckoning approx. 100 quid for the year. I've never been short hot water once.noise-wise-it's as quiet as your fridge. Also worked perfectly over the serious winter we just had. Dunno what else to say about it but it does what i was promised,not many products i've purchased do exactly what they're supposed to.
Now i'm probably running the risk of being accused of pushing it,selling it,etc. but i'm delighted with it.
any more info required i'll try to answer your questions.
Regards guys

Gentle reminder that this isn't a market place. Keep discussions to general technologies please.

Hi,
I just joined this today as I also was at Self Build Show on Sunday. Is the Thermodynamic Solar Panel as good as they are saying. Can anyone else please post on this forum that has them installed. I like the idea but not having a back up of a fossil fuel worries me. If it is as good as it promises doesnt it make normal solar panels a thing of the past??. There has to be a catch?? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thats why i had my old solar panels taken out, they were useless during the winter-i was still using oil-made no sense to me!
