Solar Thermal & Pool Heating Systems in South America

AET provides the following quality solutions for your solar water heating needs in South America:

• Solar Water Heating: The best way to reduce your electricity costs and still maintain comfort levels in South America. Solar water heating systems use solar collectors to capture and convert sunlight into heat, providing a reliable and eco-friendly source of hot water.
• Solar Pool Heating: Even in South America, heating a pool can be a requirement in cooler regions. Many owners and guests look forward to a warm pool, and a cold pool can put a damper on leisure activities. Heating a pool with electricity or gas is prohibitively expensive. Solar pool heating systems are an efficient and sustainable alternative that utilize the sun’s energy to maintain a comfortable pool temperature year-round.
• Solar Pool Pump: If you have a pool, running the pump can be your biggest expense. A solar-powered pool pump can remove this significant cost by using solar energy to power the pump, reducing electricity consumption and operational costs.
• Cost-Effective and Efficient: Solar water heating is the most cost-effective and efficient means of heating water, using renewable, free solar energy to heat water and store it in a thermal battery for use when you need it.

Whether you are an architect or engineer, a homeowner, or running a business, we have the right solar thermal water system for you. Our systems are designed to meet the specific needs of each sector, ensuring maximum efficiency and cost savings.

AET Solar proudly serves the following sectors:

• Residential: Homeowners can significantly reduce their electricity bills and carbon footprint by installing solar water heating systems. These systems are easy to maintain and provide a continuous supply of hot water using the abundant solar energy available in South America.
• Commercial: Businesses can benefit from lower energy costs and improved sustainability credentials by investing in solar thermal systems. These systems are ideal for hotels, resorts, and other commercial establishments that require large amounts of hot water.

South America is rich in renewable energy resources, with a diverse energy mix that includes a significant portion of renewable sources. The region's energy mix consists of:

• Hydropower: Hydropower is the dominant source of electricity in many South American countries, such as Brazil, where it accounts for about 60-70% of the electricity generation.
• Wind and Solar: Countries like Chile and Argentina are rapidly expanding their wind and solar energy capacities, contributing around 10-15% to the national grids.
• Biomass: Biomass energy is also widely used in countries like Brazil, contributing to the renewable energy mix.

Solar water heating complements this renewable energy landscape by providing a direct way for households and businesses to utilize solar energy, further reducing reliance on non-renewable sources and enhancing energy security.

The solar water heating market in South America is experiencing significant growth driven by the region's abundant solar resources, increasing energy costs, and supportive government policies. Key factors contributing to this growth include:

• Government Initiatives: Many South American countries have implemented policies and incentives to promote renewable energy, including solar water heating. These include tax credits, subsidies, and low-interest financing options.
• Rising Energy Costs: Increasing electricity and gas prices make solar water heating systems an attractive alternative for reducing energy bills.
• Environmental Awareness: Growing awareness of environmental issues and the benefits of renewable energy is driving the adoption of solar water heating systems.
• Technological Advancements: Advances in solar thermal technology have improved the efficiency and affordability of solar water heating systems, making them more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
