Solar thermal energy pioneer from Saxen: 1.2 MW for the heat transition
In a remarkable development for the use of renewable energies, the family business Gasokol from Saxen has received a significant order. For more than four decades, Gasokol has specialized in the production of solar thermal collectors, which are used to generate heat from solar energy. The company has now been commissioned to deliver four large solar thermal systems that will produce an impressive total of 1.2 megawatts. This corresponds to an enormous collector area of 1,740 square meters.
The clients of these innovative projects are heating network operators from various regions, including Mönchdorf in Upper Austria, Unterrabnitz in Burgenland, Rankweil in Vorarlberg and Mattstetten in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. These facilities will play a key role in making a tangible difference in the clean energy transition period.
Sustainable heat supply
Solar thermal systems are becoming increasingly widespread, not only in residential buildings, but also in commercial businesses and agriculture, especially in the context of rising energy prices. They are particularly suitable for generating clean heat in the warm months. The hot water generated is provided to customers of the heating networks and is completely free of CO2 and fine dust. This technology uses solar energy to replace conventional fuels such as wood, oil or gas, making a significant contribution to climate protection. This also enables greater independence from fossil fuels and protects valuable forest resources.
“We are proud to be making a contribution to the heat transition with highly efficient solar collectors manufactured in Upper Austria,” explained Ronald Gattringer, Managing Director of Gasokol. This combination of cutting-edge technology and regional production highlights the company's role not only as an innovative manufacturer, but also as an active contributor to a more environmentally friendly future.
The decision to invest in such solar thermal energy projects is not only a responsible step towards a more sustainable energy supply, but also shows how companies in the region can actively work to create a more climate-friendly environment. The use of solar thermal systems could therefore prove to be one of the cornerstones of future energy supply in the region and beyond.
