The collector/panel sensor is located in the flow pipe assembly. The cylinder sensor is located in the lower level of the tank in the region of the lower coil. The pump/valve assembly is located in the return pipe to the panels. All the above are wired back to the digital controller. This senses the temperatures at the panels and cylinder and operates the pump accordingly to ensure there is no overheating within the system.

The installations of Solar Panel Systems Limited are designed to supply up to 70% of free hot water throughout the year. In the summer months it is estimated that at least 95% of all hot water is free. Therefore the boiler will be switched off, which means less contamination of the atmosphere from the emission of flue gases.

In the winter months the solar energy will 'pre-heat' the incoming cold water, thus saving energy by not using the primary hot water supply from the boiler system as much as a normal non-panelled system. A saving in energy of up to 25% can be achieved in these winter months depending on the geographical location within the United Kingdom.

Solar energy is a 'free' source of energy available throughout the year. By taking advantage of the knowledge in technology of Solar Panel Systems Limited you will be saving the use of fossil fuels which in turn helps the environment by creating less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that may pollute the atmosphere. In comparison with other renewable energy sources, the Solar Panel System is the only system that does not require an energy source to produce hot water. Daylight is the supplier.

The cylinder is constructed of Duplex stainless steel, which is 100% recyclable, with 2 x coils constructed of the same material. The lower coil is connected to the solar panel system, while the upper coil is connected to the primary heating circuit from the system boiler.

The Recommended cylinder manufacturer is RANGE CYLINDERS LIMITED.

 

A system utilising solar heat in conjunction with an electronically heated single coil cylinder using immersion heaters and solar panels connected to the single coil within the cylinder. The pump set and control system is incorporated in this system as shown in the above scheme.

The recommended stainless steel unvented cylinder manufacturer is Range Cylinders Limited.

The recommended thermal store manufacturer is Gledhill Water Storage Limited.
