What are solar thermal collectors?

Solar collectors – panels allowing absorbing thermal energy of the sun light to use it for supply of hot water, and with enough space – also for heating support, including cold but clear winter days. Annual expenses for heating may be reduced up to 50%, for hot water – up to 75%.

Fields of application

Private houses

Industry, business centers, hotels

Multi-family houses

Waterpools

Public buildings

Types of solar collectors

Flat solar collectors - the best option „price/efficiency”

Vacuum solar collectors – increased efficiency, especially in winter

Solar collector kit

Basic components – solar panels and tank-thermal receiver. Fastenings on the roof, tubing, heat carrier and pump for its pumping, a set of connections, temperature sensors, expansion tank and system controller is required as well.

How to install solar collectors?

Fill in application form

An application form can be found in Section “CONTACTS”. Form completion will take a few minutes.

Wait for our call

We will contact you on the phone (usually it is the same business day or the next one) and will tell about possible solutions and their approximate value.

Project calculation

Final value will be known when the system project will be ready – for precise calculation, we need to know the type and the number of assembly accessories.

Project approval

Upon your approval of our developed project, we start to arrange packaging of equipment upon your request.

Collectors’ installation

Upon delivery of the equipment, our assembly team starts work. Upon start-adjusting works, you immediately feel the pleasant economy at the expense of the sun!

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually solar collectors pay off within 3-4 years. If a solar system is installed to heat an especially large water volume (e.g. in a pool), the payback time is even shorter.

Systems consisting of 8-10 m2 of solar collectors (and more) are capable to ensure not only hot water supply, but also heating for a typical single-family house.

A deflection of up to 15° is acceptable. Bear in mind that East - West type installation is also possible: in this case one half of solar panels is East-oriented and works until noon, and the other half is West-oriented and gets active in the afternoon.

After the sunset it will be ensured with the use of heat energy accumulated in a heat storage tank during daytime.

Then the solar collectors will be aided by the main heat generator - for example, a pellet boiler or a heat pump. Solar collectors are an add-on for the main heating and hot water supply system, which cuts costs down and prolongs working life of equipment.

A life cycle of the panels 30 years and above.

Solar collectors do not cause any large trouble. Their maintenance is not much different from such of a conventional heating system.

No, you have more choices, although a roof is the most popular. You can also locate the solar panels on your building's facade or on the ground nearby.

No, this happens naturally under solar light.

Not a single one, unless you generate electricity by means of steam generator. Solar collectors warm up a heat transfer fluid and then - water, but they don't generate electricity.
