Solar Panel Application

04/14/2010

There are a variety of solar panel applications. Some of the most common are described below:

Hot Tube Coil (screws into your existing immersion heater flange). This is not the most efficient way to use the solar energy due to the heat coil been located at the top of the cylinder but is a cheaper option depending on individual requirements.

Twin Coil Cylinder - This is the most common heating system.

Pre-Heat Tank - A storage cylinder can be located above your existing storage tank usually located in the loft area, this then is linked into the feed to your existing storage cylinder with an option to tie directly into your hot water supply using a 3-way motorized valve to divert the supply at a pre-determined temperature.

Combo - Boiler Applications - A storage cylinder will be required and can be located anywhere to suit your requirement, this is linked into your existing hot water supply via a 3-way motorized valve to enable you to draw off hot water from the storage cylinder when the required temperature is reached yet switch over to your existing means of heating when the storage cylinder is not at the required temperature.

Swimming Pool Applications - Collector Panel area sizing will be based on 25% of the surface area of the pool, the circulation loop will pass through a Solar Heat Exchanger this is manufactured from Stainless Steel to prevent corrosion due to the Chlorine in the water. This system can also be linked into you existing hot water supply.

Commercial Water Heating Systems - A series of collector panels and storage cylinders can be linked together to provide substantial hot water supply for communal usage.
