Also known as
a solar panel, the collector is mounted in a
suitable location (usually on a
roof). This collector harnesses the
sun’s energy and converts it into
heat (even on a cloudy day).
This 30-tube collector can deliver up to
11 kWh
heat energy per day in the
summer. That's 230 litres of hot
water a day.
Unlike cheaper flat-plate
collectors, vacuum-tube
collectors are unaffected by
wind or cold and consequently
work better in northern European
climates like ours.
Twin-coil
Cylinder
The cylinder provides
storage for the water heated by
the Solar Collector and back-up
heat provided by the boiler.
Fluid from the collector flows
through the lower coil. The
upper coil connected to your
boiler.
Tall and thin cylinders are
ideal for solar heating
applications because temperature
gradients within the tank
(stratification) optimise
efficient transfer of the sun's
energy.
Solar Controller
The Solar controller is the
brains of the system and this
controller has the best brains
in the business. It switches on
the circulation pump to harvest
the sun's energy at every
opportunity.
There's even a solar hour
counter, so that you can monitor
the total time the system spends
adding free heat.
