Flat Plate Solar Thermal Panels

With an aluminium absorber our solar plates deliver significant results heating up to 60 of the home s annual domestic hot water even on cloudy days that the uk climate often brings.

Flat plate solar thermal panels.

Flat plate panels look similar to solar pv panels. Solar thermal collectors heating water. Solar flat plate collector. For smaller systems or 2 3 person families usually a set of 4 x 8 flat plates will be used.

Flat plate and evacuated tube solar collectors are mainly used to collect heat for space heating domestic hot water or cooling with an absorption chiller in contrast to solar hot water panels they use a circulating fluid to displace heat to a separated reservoir. A heat absorption panel is attached to multiple copper pipes which the water or transfer fluid passes through. The two most common collectors for domestic use are flat plate panels and evacuated tube collectors. The solar flat plate collector is the primary component in your solar water heating package.

Laser welding of the absorber tubes ensures a very high mechanical bond to withstand the high temperature gradients and thermal expansion. The solar flat plate collectors are manufactured with laser welding to enhance performance and aesthetics. These solar thermal flat plates can be mounted in or on the roof making them the perfect solar panels for social housing.
