Why are Thermodynamic panels so efficient compared to traditional panels?

In the past solar panels have only been effective on sunny days, Thermodynamic Panels work day and night whether its sun, clouds, rain or snow.

Unlike traditional solar systems, the new Thermodynamic solar systems use “reverse refrigeration technology”. The carrier fluid is neither water or glycol but a simple refrigeration gas just like in a household refrigerator.

The refrigeration liquid transforms into a gas within the panel, it then passes to the thermal block which compresses the gas, this causes it to heat up. The gas then passes through the thermal exchanger in the tank, the water within that tank is then heated. The refrigeration gas then cools down and circulates back to the panel to repeat the heating process.

in larger hot water and central heating systems more panels are required to manage the high heat demand
the thermal block is a “stand alone” unit that has it’s own heat exchanger.

the heated water can then be circulated through a coil within the domestic hot water tank
because of the larger volume of water produced it is often necessary to install a larger hot water tank thus providing a larger amount of hot water
the hot water leaving the thermal block is also routed through the central heating.
like most boilers priority is given to hot water before central heating.
