Naked Energy is a pioneering British design and engineering business at the forefront of global solar thermal and solar PVT innovation. With a vision to change energy for good, Naked Energy has been a transformative force in the solar industry since 2009.
The energy consumed in heating and cooling takes up 51% of all energy used globally - making up 40% of global emissions. In the face of worldwide dependence on fossil fuels and conventional gas boilers, Naked Energy’s unwavering commitment to drive net zero and their unique Virtu products offers a unique solution to decarbonising healthcare’s energy needs.
With hot water being critical for hygiene, patient care, and medical procedures, Naked Energy’s solar thermal collectors efficiently heat water to the required temperature. With solar thermal, healthcare facilities can focus on patient well-being rather than worrying about expensive energy bills and volatile energy prices.
Naked Energy’s VirtuPVT and VirtuHOT technology are significantly reducing energy bills and carbon emissions for businesses and communities worldwide, producing clean heat and power thanks to their unique solar technology.
Specifically designed to deliver maximum energy with limited installation space, Naked Energy’s VirtuPVT collector combines solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technology to generate both electricity and heat from a single collector. The technology displaces more fossil fuels and generates more carbon savings per square metre than any other available product, making it the world’s highest energy density solar technology.
The VirtuHOT collector, which generates solar heat, recently received the gold standard TÜV international certification and can operate at peak efficiency in temperatures up to 120°C.
Both technologies can provide pre-heat and process heat while reducing hard-to-tackle scope one emissions, unlike standard PV technology, and seasonal storage allows users to benefit from solar thermal year-round.
Virtu’s modular design makes it simple to install, and is engineered to easily fit within pre-existing renewable energy installations. Energy generation is maximised with an integrated reflector, allowing Virtu to capture 40% more energy compared to conventional PV.
The Government is actively subsiding the installation costs of any project aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Virtu products are Solar Keymark certified, meaning they qualify for programmes like the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, and are backed by a up to 10-year warranty, providing peace of mind for investors
Solar thermal technology presents a revolutionary opportunity for the healthcare sector. Institutions like care homes and hospitals can easily reduce their dependence on fossil fuels with solar thermal, allowing them to achieve sustainability targets and decrease their carbon emissions.
Virtu solar thermal collectors are a versatile, affordable and aesthetically pleasing way to decarbonise heat. The integration of solar thermal technology signifies more than technological advancement and clean air for patients and staff. It represents the sector’s conscious prioritisation of sustainable values and futureproofing of its energy needs.
