Installed at the Haulfryn Delamere Lake Sailing & Holiday Park, the project combines EcoHeatwave’s heating technology with a comprehensive renewable energy setup, aiming to create a more energy-independent experience for lodge occupants.
The "Opulence Renewable" lodge, part of Sunseeker's Holiday Home range, is an ideal solution for energy-efficient living, combining a luxurious experience with sustainable practices. EcoHeatwave's unique concealed panel heating was chosen for this unit, paired with a Mixergy solar diverter hot water tank and a Sunsynk battery system integrated with solar panels from RAL Energy. Together, these components allow the lodge to harness and store solar energy for later use, maximising renewable energy consumption and minimising reliance on the grid.
EcoHeatwave approached the heating system design with the goal of minimal disruption to the lodge's aesthetic and manufacturing process. This streamlined design not only reduced the time needed for installation on the factory line but also ensured that the system was seamlessly integrated into the lodge’s structure.
One significant advantage of EcoHeatwave's approach is the absence of traditional pipework, which is typically prone to damage during transport. Without the need for fragile pipe installations, Sunseeker avoided any potential repair costs and delays often associated with conventional heating systems.
Once the lodge arrived at the park, the on-site commissioning process took a mere 15 minutes. This rapid setup allowed for immediate usage, demonstrating the efficiency of the installation and reducing time and labour costs associated with on-site assembly.
Enhanced energy efficiency and integration with Renewable Technologies
The EcoHeatwave system is specifically designed to integrate smoothly with the other renewable technologies in the lodge. By aligning with the Mixergy hot water tank and the Sunsynk battery system, the heating system optimises energy use. The solar panels charge the battery during peak sunlight hours, with the stored energy available for heating and other electrical needs at night or during cloudy days. This synergy enables maximum utilisation of the lodge's solar resources, further reducing dependency on external energy sources and minimising utility costs for the holiday park and the lodge owner.
