“Solar Plus” Heating Solutions Gaining Popularity Among Distributors

As clean and low-carbon technologies continue to gain ground, cost performance has become a top priority for energy users. Lower comprehensive costs mean stronger competitiveness, and this demand was clearly evident at the 14th China (Shijiazhuang) Heat Pump Exhibition. At the Soletks booth, more than 400 visitors—primarily heat pump contractors and distributors—came to explore high-efficiency, low-consumption integrated energy systems.

Strong Interest at the Soletks Booth

The centerpiece of attention was the EFPC flat plate solar thermal system. Visitors engaged in various ways—reading brochures, measuring the panels’ dimensions, asking about thermal parameters, lifespan, case studies, and above all, the cost-saving potential of combining solar with heat pumps. Their questions reflected the market’s strong appetite for hybrid solutions that deliver both performance and savings.

A Distributor’s Perspective

One distributor, Mr. Cheng from Jinzhong, Shanxi, offered a representative view. While working on an industrial heating project, his main challenge was lowering operating costs for the heat pump system. At the exhibition, he found the EFPC flat plate collector highly suitable and began considering technical cooperation with Soletks. After estimating the solar investment and potential cost reduction, Mr. Cheng confirmed that integrating solar could provide a competitive edge for his project.

EFPC Flat Plate Collectors: Multi-Scenario Applications

Soletks has developed multiple flat plate product categories tailored for diverse applications. Its solar thermal systems have been implemented across 17 application fields, including:

• High-altitude clean heating systems

• Urban district clean heating networks

• New rural heating systems

• Smart campus zero-carbon energy systems

• Commercial real estate hot water projects
