Energie Portugal SolarBox – Compact Efficiency Powered by Innovation
Product Description
The Energie SolarBox is a self-contained thermodynamic solar water-heating system that combines advanced solar technology with the efficiency of a heat pump, all within a sleek, compact design. Engineered for high performance and simplicity, the SolarBox delivers domestic hot water and space heating with minimal energy consumption – even in adverse weather conditions.
Available in single- or twin-panel configurations, the SolarBox operates by capturing environmental energy not only from sunlight, but also from wind, rain, and ambient air. This energy is transferred via a closed-loop refrigerant circuit to the integrated heat pump, ensuring continuous, year-round operation regardless of temperature or sunlight availability. Unlike conventional thermal systems, it is not dependent solely on solar radiation, significantly increasing reliability and energy yield.
The SolarBox is suitable for residential and light commercial use, offering a maximum thermal output of approximately 1,690 W (one panel) up to 4,550 W (two panels), with electrical consumption ranging from 390–550 W for the single-panel model to 595–890 W for the twin-panel model.
