Now is the Time to Start
Utilizing Renewable Resources
uEvery
20 minutes, enough energy is transmitted to the
earth’s surface to supply the annual global energy demand
uThe
sun generates more energy in one day
than all our fossil fuel resources combined
uElectricity
uThe
generated by the U.S. by burning fossil fuels: 75 %
estimated time to consume our remaining fossil fuels: 45 years
uCurrently,
solar energy accounts for < 1 % of the U.S. energy supply
“I’d put my money on the
sun and solar energy. What
a source of power! I hope
we don’t have to wait ‘til
oil and coal run out before
we tackle that.”
- Thomas Edison (1847 - 1931)
Solar Thermal Water Heating Systems
How it Works
Solar thermal systems from Bosch are fully integrated solutions to meet most hot water needs. Solar thermal
systems utilize free energy from the sun to produce domestic hot water, space and / or pool heating for
residential or commercial applications.
uSolar
uThe
collectors contain an absorber that heats up when exposed to both diffused and direct sunlight
absorber collects and transfers the sun’s heat through a network of
tubes filled with a heat transfer fluid to a storage tank for later use
uWhen
the heat transfer fluid in the collectors is warmer than the bottom of the storage tank, the
solar controller will turn on the solar pump station to transport the hot fluid from the collectors
through a heat exchanger where the solar energy is transferred to the stored water
uThe
collectors, pump station and storage tank are connected with
supply and return piping that is insulated to minimize heat loss
uAs
the system heats up or cools down, an expansion tank accounts
for expansion and contraction of the heat transfer fluid

Bosch Solar Thermal Systems
Reinventing Energy Efficiency
Solar Thermal Collectors
Device used to absorb energy from the sun,
converting it into heat for producing hot
water, space heating and / or pool heating.
Controls
An electronic controller that manages the
operation of a solar thermal heating system
ensuring your system delivers high efficiency
& reliability.
Tankless Water Heater
The perfect high efficiency back-up water
heater for your solar thermal system,
producing hot water on demand.
Pump Station
Device that circulates the heat extracted
from the sun within the collectors to the
water in the solar storage tank for
producing hot water.
Expansion Tank
Safety device used for absorption of excess
pressure caused by thermal expansion of the
heat transfer fluid under high temperatures.
Since 1886, the Bosch brand has stood for first class technology, innovation,
reliability and quality. Understanding the need to utilize renewable resources,
Bosch has created an extensive solar thermal product line to save energy, reduce
CO2 emissions and contribute to energy independence while lowering monthly
water heating bills through customizable solutions for any hot water need.
