The VELUX Solar Hot Water System uses simple but effective technology. The solar collectors absorb the sun's rays and heat the fluid which runs through the system to the solar cylinder. This is even the case when the weather is not at its best.
Where there is insufficient solar irradiation to provide all of your hot water, the control system will switch on your back up auxiliary heating. |
Product features:
- Solar energy systems take advantage of the sun's free energy, all year round.
- Government incentives are in place, which could mean quite a considerable saving.
- Exceptional design standards.
- Aesthetically pleasing integrated collectors.
- Can be combined with VELUX Roof Windows.
- Flexibility in system design with 4 different types of collector and 6 variations of cylinder available.
