Solar thermal energy is inexhaustible, free and environmentally friendly!
The collectors offer excellent energy yields and provide an environmentally friendly solution for reducing the consumption of fossil fuels for heating and domestic hot water.
In order to further encourage the production of local renewable heat, the Commune, through equiwatt, allocates a subsidy in addition to the cantonal subsidy for all solar thermal installations.
THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR THERMAL
- Used for domestic hot water preparation and as a back-up for heating
- Suitable for all types of dwellings or geographical regions
- A very interesting ecological balance

FAQ
For a conventional solar thermal installation, you need between 0.5 and 1 m2 of collector per person for a rental building, and between 1 and 1.5 m2 for a family home (generally between 4 and 6 m2).
Yes, everything is possible, the manufacturers will provide you with a customised offer taking into account your needs.
The energy savings from solar collectors will depend on the number of people in the house and their hot water consumption habits. For a household of 4 to 6 people, solar thermal collectors can produce an average of 500 kWh/year/m2 of panel installed and reduce oil consumption by about 300 litres or gas consumption by about 300 m3 per year. Greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by about 800 kg per year for those who have an oil boiler and 600 kg per year for those who heat with gas. Swissolar has put a solar energy calculator on its website. It provides information on the heat output of solar thermal panels according to various parameters
