Yes, the system produces heat even in cold weather as long as there is solar radiation. However, efficiency decreases in winter. This is why a backup system, such as a boiler or a heat pump, is essential to ensure a constant hot water temperature throughout the year.
The required surface area depends on the size of your household and your hot water needs. Generally, you need about 1 to 1.5 m² of collectors per person. A personalized technical study is recommended to determine the exact surface area according to your roof's orientation.
In Switzerland, many solar installations are exempt from building permits, but a notification to the competent authorities is often mandatory. It is essential to check local requirements before starting your work to ensure compliance with current regulations.
A well-maintained solar water heating system has an average lifespan of 20 to 25 years. Regular maintenance by a professional helps maximize this longevity and ensures the system continues to operate with optimal efficiency over the years.
