Problem
Traditional heating systems often lack efficiency in storing and utilizing excess energy, leading to energy waste and increased costs. Electrical batteries, while capable of energy storage, can be expensive compared to thermal storage solutions. Furthermore, conventional heating systems may not be compact enough for modern space constraints.
Solution
Cowa Thermal Solutions provides compact thermal energy storage systems that utilize phase-change materials (PCM) to improve the efficiency and compactness of heating systems. Their technology stores excess energy generated by heat pumps and photovoltaic systems, enabling significant energy cost savings and reduced carbon emissions. The Cowa COMPACT Cell maximizes storage capacity in a small footprint and offers a lifespan of over 20 years without capacity loss. These systems offer a cost-effective alternative to electrical batteries for storing surplus energy.
