SOLARFOCUS Schweiz GmbH (Grosswangen)

SOLARFOCUS with own location in Switzerland for distribution of biomass boilers, solar systems and heat pumps.

Even closer to the customer through branch office in Grosswangen, Lucerne For more than 20 years, the Austrian company SOLARFOCUS has been known in Switzerland as a manufacturer of high-quality solar collectors, biomass boilers and, more recently, heat pumps. Since the beginning of 2019, there is now its own subsidiary in Switzerland, SOLARFOCUS Schweiz GmbH. In Grosswangen, Managing Director Pius Elmiger is now well established and looks forward to serving existing and new SOLARFOCUS customers throughout Switzerland - whether through competent on-site service or telephone support.

SOLARFOCUS became known mainly for its combination boiler "Therminator" (for pellets AND lump fuel in the same combustion chamber) and the thermal solar collectors, which until then had been distributed indirectly by various Swiss companies. Over the years, the product range has been continuously expanded and adapted to the market.

New in the program is the multiple award-winning currently quietest air compact heat pump "vampair" and the large boiler "maximus" - a biomass boiler for large systems with moving grate, integrated flue gas recirculation and electrostatic dust filter.

Solar water heating and heating support - heat.

In solar thermal energy, solar radiation is converted into heat. This principle is used for solar water heating and for heating support. Short-wave solar rays strike the highly selective coating of the absorber in the collector and are absorbed by 95% and converted into heat. The heat produced is then pumped to the domestic hot water tank or a buffer tank, where the thermal energy is temporarily stored for the consumers.

A thermal solar system has a much higher efficiency in producing hot water compared to a PV system. Depending on the desired temperature, efficiencies of up to 80% can be achieved. With 1000 W/m² of solar irradiation, a 10 m² solar system can produce up to 8 kW of heat.

Photovoltaics - Electricity

In contrast, the PV system converts solar radiation into electricity. When light falls on the solar cell, an electrical voltage is created between the positive and negative coated cells. When this voltage is dissipated, direct current is generated, which is converted into alternating current by an inverter. This electricity can then either be consumed directly in the household, fed into the grid or temporarily stored in a battery.

A PV module produces about 315 W at an irradiation of 1000 W/m². Typically, PV modules have an area of about 1.6 m², which means an efficiency of about 19.7 %. A 10 m² PV system thus produces a maximum of 1.97 kW of electricity at 1000 W/m² solar irradiation.
