Solar Thermal: Panels

FLAT PLATE

myPlanetTM flat plate systems were the first in the world to offer a 2.1m2 collector. We use laser welding to bond a number of copper tubes to the front collector panel, resulting in a very sturdy construction - How do they work?

  • Tough and rigid construction from a single piece of metal to provide higher tensile strength when mounted on roof
  • Attractive, shallow profile that allows flush roof mounting
  • Elegant and ergonomic design complements many roof tile styles
  • Unique diagonal ventilation systems allowing high efficiency levels and longevity with no condensation
  • Powder coated frame for anti-rust protection
  • The copper pipes are mounted on the absorber and precision laser welded in to position
  • The Solar Absorber is mounted on springs at each corner to ensure it remain in position to maximize output
  • Solar keymark certification confirms excellent performance levels
  • Products available to suit installations of 2 or 3 collectors or 4 or 5 collectors on same property.


EVACUATED TUBE

U Pipe Direct Flow System

Direct Flow is a very simple system that works in a similar fashion to a conventional flat plate collector but with the benefit of vacuum insulation.

The U-Pipe collectors have the same copper tube as a traditional heat pipe collector, but it instead bends around on itself at the bottom of the glass tube and returns directly into the double manifold. This enables the heat transfer fluid to travel through the tube for direct gain from solar radiation. As this heat transfer fluid is heated, it is pumped around the collector tubes and eventually passes through the secondary coil in the hot water storage cylinder. The U-Pipe Collectors require fewer tubes up on the roof than heat pipe to reach the same peak efficiency levels.

  • pUre series has a staggering 758 Kwhm2 output – 58mm x 1800 tubes
  • Can be installed vertically, horizontally & on flat walls - allowing flexibility of system design and installation.
  • U pipe collectors have a smaller footprint than Heat Pipe & Flat plate systems - Less visually intrusive
  • No parabolic mirror - No efficiency decrease during service lifetime.
  • Direct flow U pipe technology - More rapid heat transfer
  • Suitable for mains pressure water
  • Pre-assembled in 6, 8 and 16 tube arrays - no roof assembly required
  • Ideal for flat roof and Inclined up to 90°
  • Black anodised aluminium casing and frame-corrosion proof sleek single colour design
  • Operate up to 6 Bar - tested to 9 Bar
  • Dry tubes - Quick & easy replacement in situ without draining system
  • Tested to withstand 25mm hailstones @ 23m/s
  • Outperform flat plates - Autumn , Winter & Spring
  • Operates at temperatures of -40°C
  • 22mm male copper manifold fitting – "plug and play" design provides fast and simple installation.
  • Individually serial numbered - for commissioning and warranty
  • Unrivalled 15 Year Warranty on Tubes – Peace of mind
