Solar Hot Water Sunstation®
Application:
Solar Hot Water Sunstations® use solar energy to heat water for washing, bathing and heating. Available in two different formats, the ‘Solar thermal’ Sunstation can be fitted to sloping roofs or mounted on flat roofs using a specially designed framing system.
The sloping roof system can be integrated into the roof, or retrofitted over conventional tiles. The integrated solution utilises a wooden backing to minimize embodied energy and improve recyclability.
An electronic controller constantly compares the temperature of the flud within the Sunstation with that of the hot water cylinder. When the Sunstation is hotter than the cylinder, the controller switches on the system’s pump. A mixture of anti freeze and water is circulated through the cylinder’s heat exchanger, heating the cylinder in just the same way as a regular boiler but without burning fossil fuels.
Features:
• High efficiency - a specially coated copper collector plate maximises the energy absorbed
• Versatility - water resistant internal wooden frame or metal mounting systems available
• Thermal protection - mineral wool thermal insulation
• High quality - special solar glass with minimal iron content
• Lasting finishes - powder coated aluminium cover profiles
• Discreet - matt black collector plate and frame
Solar Hot Water Sunstations® are available to Commercial Developers, Housing Developers, Housing Associations and Registered Social Landlords, they are not currently available for individual retrofit installations.
