Flat Plate Solar Thermal Panels

The solar flat plate collector is the primary component in your solar water heating package.

Flat plate solar thermal panels. The solar flat plate collectors are manufactured with laser welding to enhance performance and aesthetics. Flat plate panels look similar to solar pv panels. The two most common collectors for domestic use are flat plate panels and evacuated tube collectors. For smaller systems or 2 3 person families usually a set of 4 x 8 flat plates will be used.

The flat plate solar collector is a type of solar thermal panel whose objective is to transform solar radiation into thermal energy this type of solar collector has a good cost effectiveness ratio in moderate climates and adapts correctly to a large number of applications of solar thermal energy heating of sanitary water heating of swimming pools support for heating preheating industrial. A sheet of glass covers this panel acting both as protection and insulation. The flat plates come in a variety of sizes and there are a few options to choose from. Laser welding of the absorber tubes ensures a very high mechanical bond to withstand the high temperature gradients and thermal expansion.

A heat absorption panel is attached to multiple copper pipes which the water or transfer fluid passes through. 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. Solar thermal collectors heating water.
