On the occasion of the new Greek state program “Recycle – Replace Your Water Heater,” a program that offers only benefits for environmental protection, let’s examine some key facts and the role of Viopol as a Greek system house.
The program provides a subsidy of up to 60% for the purchase and installation of a solar water heater, as well as the replacement of an old electric water heater. The application period ends on March 31.
We have discussed many times the importance of solar energy and subsidies like this. As Viopol, we are strong advocates of all actions leading to a greener planet.
Let’s look at some facts about how we benefit from this technology.
A four-member family can recover the cost of purchasing and installing a solar water heater in 3-5 years, while the system’s lifespan can reach up to 20 years. Additionally, they can save between €350 and €700 annually by reducing energy consumption, achieving up to 80% savings in energy costs for water heating. This translates to a reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 1,700 kg per year. It is noteworthy that even an electric car reduces fewer CO2 emissions. Keep in mind that we are only talking about carbon dioxide and not other pollutants produced by an energy-intensive traditional method.
Today, only 30% of homes in Greece have a solar water heater.
In this effort, and in all efforts towards a greener future, Viopol is an ally. This reliable solar technology, with over 40 years of application, easy maintenance process, and a long lifespan, also requires high-quality materials.
Viopol has developed a range of systems specifically designed for this technology. These are not just insulation systems, as extreme weather conditions, temperature variations, mechanical stresses demand durability. Our systems stand out for their long-standing reliable application, compliance with the latest European Union regulations on material technology, and Viopol’s unique characteristics, such as exceptional dimensional stability over time and under extreme conditions, as well as outstanding performance in adhesion and mechanical properties.
Our systems not only help maintain the water temperature thanks to their exceptional thermal insulation properties, but they also protect the entire mechanism over time with their quality and performance.
We wish our partners success in producing this device that contributes to environmental protection! Viopol will always stand by their side, supporting them in every aspect.
