SOLAR PANELS K2 PLUS SOLAR HEATING
An investment that will provide heat for many years
As soon as you start to feel the warmth of the sun in the spring and until late in the autumn, the solar panels can efficiently heat your hot water and your house.
The solar panels also supply additional energy in the winter. During the summer half of the year, the solar panels are able to meet all of your house’s heating and hot water needs. Your living costs are really low and you are protecting the environment.
HIGH QUALITY SAVES MONEY
Solar panels are always profitable but it takes a few years to recoup your investment. So it is important for the solar panels to be of the very best quality. Värmebaronen’s Swedish-made solar heating systems have a very long service life, so they save a lot of money. A wide range of accessories makes it possible to connect K2 solar panels to nearly all types of boiler and heat pump.
MANY AREAS OF APPLICATION
You can use solar heating in many different ways. The most common is to let the solar panels produce hot water during the summer half of the year. You also get heat in addition to that provided by the primary heat source, which may be wood, pellets or a heat pump, for example. Many people use solar panels to heat their swimming pool cheaply and easily.
COMBINE WITH WOOD FIRED, PELLETS OR HEAT PUMP
Solar panels are not able to heat a house in the winter, but they are an excellent addition to other heat sources. In the winter, when it is coldest, you use pellets/wood/heat pump for heating. For the rest of the year (April, May, June, July, August and September), the solar panels take over the heating and hot water. In this way, each type of energy is used when it is most efficient. Solar panels are also excellent with a heat pump. The heating costs less and the pump lasts longer. If you have geothermal heating, the solar panels can also heat the borehole.

INSTALLATION
Solar panels can produce hot water and provide heating for your house. Well-dimensioned solar panels can normally meet all your hot water needs from April to September. For the rest of the year, they provide additional energy for the house’s primary heating system. Up to 75% of all hot water consumption over a year can be produced by solar panels.
DIMENSIONING
It is important for solar panels to be dimensioned according to energy needs. The energy needed in the summer is always the factor that determines the size of the system. It is usually enough to have one K2 panel per person, but it can vary between different households. For many years Värmebaronen has trained installers that can help you determine the correct dimensions.
ACCUMULATOR
It is best to have a well-insulated stratification tank with a volume of 50-200 litres of water per square metre of solar panel. Water is also heated in the tank. The accumulator tank must be fitted with a solar coil or a heat exchanger such as Solomax VX.
PACKAGES
You make your choice on the basis of the available roof surface and the appearance that suits the house best. The number of solar panels varies with the household’s individual need for hot water and heat. Solar panels are best located next to the ridge of the roof. Värmebaronen has off-the-shelf packages for all roof types with everything you need, saving time and money.
STYLES
RECESSED
The tiles are removed and replaced with solar panels. Plates are installed around the panels to create a seal with the roof. Recessed installation produces an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
ON SURFACE
A simple method of installation in which the solar panels are installed on top of the existing roof material, for example tiles, tin roof or felt.
ROOF / WALL STAND
A stand that can be infinitely extended for flat roofs or wall installation.
FREE STANDING
Freestanding installation is used if the position of the house’s roof is unsuitable. The solar panels are then installed on stands.
