This is excellent news and congratulations to Solar Heat Europe (ESTIF), it’s entire team and Board of Directors for their relentless effort to get this approved by the Council. All forms of solar energy, with demand reduction measures must be utilised to reduce the operating costs and emissions of buildings. Onwards! #solar #solarthermal #solarPVT #sustainability

I'm delighted to share the unveiling of the "Solar Heat is SMART" Manifesto by Solar Heat Europe (ESTIF). This manifesto is a pivotal document that underscores the crucial role of solar thermal energy in Europe's journey towards a sustainable energy future and economic prosperity. With elections on the horizon, this manifesto serves as a clarion call to all future decision-makers, urging them to prioritize all renewable energy solutions for a more sustainable future. The manifesto lays out a comprehensive framework for accelerating the energy transition while ensuring tangible benefits for both EU citizens and the economy. Key actions outlined include: 1️⃣ Urgent establishment of a new Renewable Heating & Cooling strategy for Buildings & Industry. 2️⃣ Protection, support, and incentivization of EU Cleantech SMEs. 3️⃣ Prioritization of affordable renewable heat solutions. 4️⃣ Highlighting positive externalities such as resilience and recyclability. 5️⃣ Enabling and supporting the tripling of solar thermal roll-out by 2030.

Thank you for sharing, Gerard. Another important reason why solar heat, which is a type of distributed renewable heat, along with heat storage, can work together with heat pumps to ease the load on the grid. This is especially beneficial in the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector. For every kilowatt-hour (KWth) of solar heat installed on-site, it reduces the investment required in power grid infrastructure. #solarheat #solarthermal #solarPVT

Taking hot water demands off the grid… There’s such an important role for solar thermal to play alongside electrification and upgrading the networks. Great to see our VirtuHOT system delivering affordable, zero carbon heat to Creighton University, delivered by ELM Solar, part of the ELM Companies

I really enjoyed being on this Insider's Guide to Energy podcast. Thank you Chris Sass and Jeff McAulay for having me on and asking such good questions! Episode Highlights: - In-Depth Discussion: unveils the potential of solar PVT and pure thermal technologies to revolutionize how we harness solar energy, providing both electricity and thermal energy from a single system. - Industry Transformation: Learn how PVT systems are making strides in decarbonizing industrial heat across various sectors, from brewing to hospitality, aligning perfectly with global sustainability goals. - Climate Adaptability: Discover how Naked Energy Ltd's solutions thrive in diverse climates, debunking myths about solar energy's geographical limitations. - Economic and Environmental Impact: insights into the cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits of adopting SolarPVT and Solar Thermal technologies, alongside the potential for significant energy savings and carbon footprint reduction. - Partnerships: ELM Companies and E.ON Control Solutions Ltd supporting Naked Energy on their scale-up journey.

It was a privilege to host the ITV News team at our UK production site, and thank you Robert Peston for featuring us on your news bulletin. Consistency and leadership are needed to deliver the energy transition. It's a false economy to cut back on a cleaner, fairer and more independent energy system. Future generations will not thank us for not taking the opportunity whilst we still have it. 

Going from strength to strength. VenFeld our brilliant Dutch partners delivering Virtu to more and more customers in The Netherlands. All these customers are looking to dramatically reduce primary energy consumption from fossil fuels, which provides the benefit of energy independence, price certainty, and very attractive ROIs. What's exciting is to see the combination with other generating assets and energy efficiency measures to provide a holistic approach. Our aim at Naked Energy Ltd is to see this on millions of buildings over the next decade!

Definitely one of the real pressure moments (pun intended) whilst growing the business. It’s been one heck of a journey and feels like it’s just starting to fizz. Thank you Management Today for the sharing the lovely article.
