The product
ThermaVault is a heat storage system designed to store excess energy produced by solar farms or other energy production facilities. Solar panels are most efficient during the summer months, when energy usage is usually the lowest, meaning that the energy produced is not fully utilized, going to waste. ThermaVault allows you to store this excess energy in the form of heat for the winter months, utilizing your energy output to its fullest and saving you thousands in heating costs.
Product Description
Unlike traditional energy storage solutions that use expensive, complex and environmentally harmful materials, the ThermaVault offers its users a simple, reliable and eco-friendly alternative for their energy saving needs.

- Customisable to your needs
- Can be stored underground to save space
- An Eco-friendly solution
Material & construction
ThermaVault is a customizable thermal storage unit measuring up to 12 x 12 x 4 meters and holding 400 tons of water, designed for efficient heat retention and durability. The unit's construction utilizes extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam bricks, 1 x 1 meters each, known for their superior insulating properties. These bricks are held together with support and interlocking system, ensuring stability under water pressure.
Heat storage
Inside, the unit is filled with water heated by an immersion heater strategically positioned to promote efficient convection. The heater element is adaptable to both AC and DC power inputs, providing flexibility in integration with various power grids. To ensure safe usage, a thermostat capped at 90 C° is installed, with an additional power breaker unit to prevent damage caused by power surges.
Heat output
When the need arises, the heated water is transferred out of the tank using insulated pipes. The water can then be directly connected to your heating system or, alternatively, to a heat transfer unit, depending on your needs.
ThermaVault combines advanced materials and engineering to offer a reliable and customizable solution for energy accumulation.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about ThermaVault, with detailed answers.
The energy accumulator is designed to store thermal energy during periods of low demand (such as summer) and release it during periods of high demand (such as winter).It supports renewable energy installations by balancing energy distribution throughout the year.
The energy accumulator is constructed from extruded polystyrene (XPS) 1x1 meter large foam bricks, providing excellent modularity, thermal insulation, and durability. The energy accumulator is modularly constructed using 1x1 meter large foam bricks, which allows for easy assembly, customization, and scalability to fit various energy storage needs.
The energy accumulator storage capacity depends on its modular size. Our base solution offers its users the ability to store 11 MWh (see technical specification). Depending on your needs, the system can be configured to store between 2 and 34 MWh of energy when heated from 20 to 90 degrees Celsius.
The energy loss for the accumulator over one month is 3-7%, depending on configuration. The standard model has a heat loss rate of 5.99% per month.
By storing excess energy generated during peak production periods (such as from solar panels in summer) and releasing it during periods of high demand (such as in winter), the accumulator helps balance energy supply and demand, thus supporting the efficiency and reliability of green energy systems.
Yes, the accumulator is designed to support sustainable energy practices by optimizing energy use, reducing waste, be it from unused energy coming from power stations, or from other appliances, such as air conditioning units.
The energy accumulator requires minimal maintenance due to multilayer design and welding of blocks. Regular inspections for any potential leaks or damages are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
The energy accumulator can be integrated with various excess energy sources like spare heat from air conditioning, cogeneration units, and renewable energy systems. Additionally, it can balance heating systems, such as firewood-based setups, by storing heat and releasing it gradually to reduce the need for constant refueling. Consulting an energy specialist can ensure optimal integration with your existing infrastructure.
The ThermaVault system can be configured to meet your specific heat storage needs - The less heat you need to store, the smaller the unit; the more heat you need to store, the larger the unit. Our standard solution is 10x10x3 meters large and can be configured to be either smaller (down to 3x3x3 meters) or larger (up to 15x14x4 meters). Tell us how much heat you need to store and we will find you the best solution.
