Field Evaluation of Naked Energy’s Virtu Solar Thermal and Hybrid PVT Collectors in Commercial Energy Systems
Abstract
In this communication, we provide an overview of Naked Energy's Virtu solar thermal and hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT) technology, showcasing its application in various commercial settings. We share field data from customer sites, including office buildings, leisure centers, supermarkets, and student residences, to highlight the real-world performance and system integration of Virtu products. Our discussion covers how these installations meet different heating and power needs while contributing to carbon reduction efforts. We also introduce Naked Energy’s Clarity monitoring platform, which tracks and analyzes system performance to help optimize operations. Lastly, we offer a preview of upcoming projects that will incorporate interseasonal heat storage, further expanding the potential of Virtu technology in supporting the transition to sustainable energy.
