Water heating is responsible
for 30% of your energy bill.

Solar thermal is the most efficient way to reduce this cost. In Lisbon, with over 2,800 hours of sunshine per year, the savings potential is enormous.

70% less on hot water bills

A properly sized system covers 60 to 80% of your hot water needs throughout the year, dramatically reducing gas or electricity consumption.

Immediate savings from day 1

Payback in 3 to 5 years

Faster than photovoltaic. The savings on your gas or electric bill recover the investment in just a few years, with over 15 years of benefit to follow.

System lifespan: 20+ years

Mandatory in new construction

The RECS (Energy Efficiency Regulation) makes solar thermal mandatory in new buildings. The property's energy certification improves significantly.

Improves property energy rating

Works with any boiler

The solar system works in parallel with your existing boiler or water heater. On sunny days, water heats for free; in winter or cloudy days, the boiler only activates when needed.

Compatible with gas, electric and heat pump

Minimal maintenance

Solar thermal systems are simple and durable. An annual inspection and antifreeze fluid check is all they need to function for decades.

Ideal for pools

Solar thermal is the most economical solution for heating pools. It extends the swimming season by 3 to 4 months with near-zero operating costs.

Both work well in Portugal. The choice depends on the application, available space and budget. We recommend what's right for your case.

Solar thermal for every need.

We size the system for your actual consumption, whether a home, pool or business.

Residential homes

Hot water for homes or apartments. For a household of 4, the system covers 70% of needs with 2 collectors and a 200L tank.

2 collectors · 200–300L

Pools

Pool water heating with near-zero operating costs. Extends the swimming season from March to October and maintains comfortable temperature without high costs.

4–10 collectors · +4 months swimming season

Hotels and Accommodation

Hotels and holiday accommodation have high hot water consumption. Solar thermal significantly reduces operating costs and improves sustainability ratings.

Solar thermal converts solar energy into heat — for heating water. Photovoltaic converts solar energy into electricity. They are complementary technologies: thermal is more efficient specifically for hot water and pools; photovoltaic works for all types of electrical consumption.
Yes, but with lower output. In Lisbon, even in winter there is sufficient solar radiation for the system to contribute. On colder or very cloudy days, the backup system (boiler or resistance) automatically completes the heating — you never run out of hot water.
Yes, but there are constraints: you need building association approval to install collectors on the roof or façade, and the tank needs space for installation. We analyse the feasibility during the technical visit.
In most cases, yes. Solar thermal works in parallel with any backup system — gas boiler, electric water heater or heat pump. The solar pre-heats the water and the backup system only operates when the temperature is insufficient.
For a home with 3–4 people (2 collectors + 200–300L tank), the typical investment is between €2,500 and €4,500 with installation included. The exact price depends on collector type, tank and installation characteristics. The quote we send within 48h has the precise price.
Very little. We recommend an annual inspection to check the antifreeze fluid level in the primary circuit and proper operation of the pump and safety valve. At JSolC we offer an annual maintenance contract that includes this visit.
