Thermal Storage
Thermal stores are becoming increasingly common in domestic renewable heating technology as a means of storing excess heat generated. They can be used with an individual renewable heating technology or to combine different renewable heating technologies and can also be used with a conventional technology such as gas boilers. They provide a way of storing and managing renewable heat until it is needed.
The full potential of a thermal store is realised when it is used to store and manage a number of different heat inputs and outputs. For example, it lets you use your excess solar heat for space heating or to act as a heat pump pre-heat when this is used to supply hot water.
A thermal store allows you to integrate a number of different energy producers.
You can connect the following to a thermal store:

A thermal store allows you to integrate a number of different energy producers.
You can connect the following to a thermal store:
- One or more renewable energy technologies (solar, biomass, heat pump).
- A conventional boiler.
- An Aga-type range with a boiler.
- Electrical heating elements such as an immersion heater.
