Genersys Flat Plate Collectors
Hot water heating (on average) accounts for 26% of your annual energy bill. With a Genersys flat plate collector solar system, you could generate enough solar energy to heat 70% of your hot water; with a 35+ year life expectancy and payback ranging from 8 to 12 years, the cost and energy savings become clear.
Genersys plc is a leading manufacturer of solar thermal technology producing solar systems for water heating for the home and industry and solar pool heating systems. Genersys and its associated companies export solar systems in over 50 countries throughout the world. Genersys solar panels are used for domestic water heating, space heating, industrial heating processes and agricultural heating processes as well as for heating swimming pools of all shapes and sizes.
How it works: A highly insulated copper pipe connects the panels to the lower heat coil in a sealed circuit; the upper coil connects to your boiler in the usual way as backup. Sensors are installed in the panels and in the new cylinder.
The sensors communicate with the digital controller and this turns on the pump when heat is needed and solar energy is available, to direct heat from the panel to the cylinder. When the water is hot enough the pump is turned off.
If there is not enough solar energy to power the Genersys Solar System the fossil fuel system acts as back up.
The Benefits of a Genersys 1000-10 Solar Collector:
- Patented connection clamp for pressure sealed link up to adjacent collector & system piping without soldering or welding.
- Surrounding glass frame with integral groove to seal the collector to roof join.
- Low-reflection transparent, special solar glass, consisting of thermically pre-stressed, hardened white glass, tested in accordance with ISO for hailstone resistance.
Meandering heat transfer pipe consisting of a single compression-proof copper pipe folded into the absorber plate.- One piece construction (AIMG) of the trough and frame (no joined framing) combined with a compression, vacuum-proof design means longest lifespan of any collector worldwide.
- Surrounding sealing ring made of superior heat-resistant and age-resistant material.
- Integrated roof piping allowing erection of collector panels to Tichelmann piping system.
- Absorber section with plated, highly selective, special coating in thin layer technology for low loss light heat conversion with quick transfer of heat to heat transfer pipe.
- 20 year panel warranty.
- 1 panel (2m2) avg output 1200kWh at constant 50 deg C
- Collectors can be connected in parallel, up to 10 panels per row
- Dimension of collector is 38.7″ x 77″, and only weighs 80 lbs.
- Horizontal & vertical panels.
