1 Climate change is the single biggest challenge facing humanity – and time is running out to tackle it. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has calculated that we have less than ten years left in which to halve global emissions, a key element in keeping warming within 1.5°C and avoiding climate catastrophe. The time for taking action is now. Which is what Naked Energy is doing. We are a British design and engineering business, leading global innovation in solar thermal and solar PVT with a mission to change energy for good. Our business has set out to decarbonise heating and...

Our mission – to change energy for good Solar thermal – powering the transition to net zero The impacts of climate change, such as more extreme and devastating weather events, are already being seen around the world and will affect all of us. Tackling climate change and avoiding the most severe impacts requires immediate, meaningful action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and create a net zero-carbon world. The world needs a huge amount of heat. Globally, more than half (51%) of all energy demand is for heat – for warming buildings, food and beverage production, countless industrial uses and...

From installers, for installers Integration with other technology Naked Energy’s products are designed with installers in mind. The core design has benefited from multiple workshops with experienced installers, whose valuable insights have been integrated into design and innovation for transportation, installation and maintenance. From Virtu’s low-profile design to the modular assembly, our innovation keeps life simple for installers and maintenance teams. Virtu is a complementary technology. Like all solar thermal technologies, it can be easily combined with existing technologies, such as...

We have developed the world’s highest energy density solar technology delivering zero carbon heat, affordably. VirtuHOT is the next generation in solar thermal technology. It’s a solar thermal collector that heats water from the power of the sun to up to 120°C. more energy, less space Solar thermal can decarbonise global heat demand across a number of sectors, from manufacturing to hotels and leisure centres. By using Virtu, customers can reduce their dependency on fossil fuels and future-proof hot water supply. Revolutionising solar heat and power. VirtuPVT redefines solar energy. It’s a...

Certification and testing As with any new technology, case studies detailing a history of performance are hard to provide. To give customers confidence in Virtu, Naked Nergy has commissioned 3rd party testing and certification with TÜV Rheinland. TÜV Rheinland is an independent inspection service that has been a global leader since its foundation 145 years ago. TÜV Rheinland certification is globally recognized and ensures the authenticity of a company’s safety and performance claims in compliance to international standards. Testing includes but is not limited to: > Determination of...

Case study – The Active Office SPECIFIC IKC has partnered with Naked Energy to install 40 VirtuPVT tubes at the Active Office, the UK’s first energy-positive office building, to decarbonise heat and power demand. Client: SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre (IKC) Sector: Education / research Location: Swansea, UK Technology: VirtuPVT Background: Led by Swansea University, SPECIFIC is a UK national IKC with partners including Tata Steel, NSG and AkzoNobel. The centre was established in 2011 to research how innovative technologies, such as solar collectors, can be deployed to make...

Industries – range of Virtu applications Hotels & Leisure Centres Public Sector For hotels with high thermal demand all year around, Virtu’s high-energy density is ideal, especially for urban environments with limited roof area. Resort-style hotels are often in locations with lots of solar irradiance, but traditional energy sources are expensive, space is limited and not always secure. For these hotels, Virtu can eliminate such challenges while tackling the scope 1 emissions from domestic hot water (DHW), laundry and pool heating. Governments around the world have committed to net zero. To...
