6 Solar Thermal Energy HIGHLY EFFICIENT Works from dawn until dusk throughout the year CASE STUDY IRISH DAIRY FARMER CUTS COSTS BY NEARLY 1,000 PA WITH SOLAR THERMAL A dairy farmer in Co. Longford, Ireland, has installed Kingspan solar thermal technology and in so doing, has reduced the annual cost of running his milking parlour by nearly 1,000 per annum. Eugene Fitzpatrick milks his herd of 120 cows twice daily, each time washing down the milk lines in the parlour s 14 units with up to 200 litres of hot water. An engineer from Kingspan Solar s expert team was invited to survey the site and offer recommendations for installing a solar thermal system which could provide a supply of heated water to support the needs of the dairy as well as additional hot water to feed the calves. The system which was specified features 2 x Thermomax HP400 (30) Evacuated Tube Collectors a total of 60 roof-mounted tubes. It was installed in November 2015, using an existing 500-litre cylinder, backed-up by electrical immersion heaters, and with a gas boiler providing instantaneous hot water if required. Last year, in its first full year of operation, the solar collectors delivered all the farm s required hot water without any need to use the immersion heaters between the months of April and September. The financial savings have also been significant on average, the cost of heating water has been cut by 95 per month; a total saving of 1,140 per annum. The installation cost was c. 4,400, and Mr Fitzpatrick was able to claim back in VAT. The system is expected to payback in around three years.
