Heating with Solar Energy
A fully integrated multi-fuel energy center based on our efficiency program concept has lowered energy consumption by 40% and cut CO2 emissions by a third at our facility in Germany. It demonstrates that tomorrow’s energy objectives can be met today with technology already on
the market.
An Investment for the Future
Finite fossil fuel reserves and the dangerous effects of climate change are two of the biggest challenges we face today. With the heating sector as one of the largest consumers of energy, it’s time to rethink the way in which we consume energy.
With home heating accounting for approx. 40% of our annual energy consumption, finding ways to conserve precious fossil fuels and substituting with renewable energies whenever possible is key for a sustainable energy policy and our future.
This is the basis of our efficiency program – an integrated energy concept that advocates reduced fossil fuel consumption through improved efficiency and the use of renewable energy.
With a complete line of high efficiency fossil fuel and renewable energy systems, we provide the heating solutions today that meet the energy challenges of tomorrow, so that every home, business or community can now play an active
role in protecting our future.
Heating with solar energy is an integral part of our program. Clean, abundant and still largely untapped, it’s the perfect addition to any heating system – whether for domestic hot water, pool heating or to supplement your space heating or cooling loads.
Start with solar
As the cleanest, most abundant and easily accessible form of energy on earth, start your sustainable energy approach with solar energy.
Conquer your heating bill
Putting the sun to work saves you as much as 60% on your hot water bill or up to 25% when using solar energy for hot water and space heating.
Future-proof your heating
You no longer have to fret over skyrocketing energy prices. There’s more than enough sunlight to go around, so sit back and enjoy your savings.
Boost your property value
A solar system not only showcases your commitment to the environment, it can increase your property value at the same time.
Show that you care
Plus, with a solar system on your roof you make a real statement. Show your neighbors that you care and take a lead role in protecting our tomorrow.

30+ years in the making
Excellence takes time. With over 30 years in the solar business, it’s not surprising that our solar systems are unlike anything on the market: Time-tested, fine-tuned system technology built to perfection and backed by an extensive support network.
Built to outperform
Our solar systems are all about quality. Performance tests in Europe and North America have shown it. Manufactured with high quality corrosion and UV-resistant materials, our systems provide superior performance over a lifespan of 20+ years.
A system you can trust
Down to the last detail, all components of our solar systems have been carefully design matched to ensure reliable performance and efficient energy harvest every step of the way. Experience the peace-of- mind only a fine-tuned system like ours can provide.
We stand behind you
From contractor seminars at the Viessmann Academy to our in-house technical support teams and network of in-field representatives across North America, we stand behind our products,
from the design phase to the commissioning of your system, to make sure you get the best solar experience possible.
We’ve got what’s right for you
With one of the most extensive solar thermal programs on the market, we have what’s right for you and your budget. With our multi-level program of complete flat plate and vacuum tube solar thermal systems, you don’t have to compromise on quality and reliability – no matter
what your budget.
The Viessmann Acredal collector in the early 1980s. With 30+ years of experience, Viessmann offers one of the most advanced and trusted solar programs on the market.
