Solar power water heater split systems

The principles are the same as a pressurised system with some key differences. The tank is separate to the collector(the tubes) and is usually sited in the house( much like an immersion heater). Because the system is split it also has a pump , digital controller and expansion vessel as well as an electric back up heater. The pump cycles the fluid through the solar collectors and back through the coil in the tank which then transfers the heat into the stored water in the tank.

Collector panels are the same in design as the integrated systems the key difference is that the tank is separated from the panels and in its place is a manifold unit which can be connected in series for additional heat potential. Our standard tank is a single coil system with immersion back up, for systems that need to run in tandem with a heating system we can supply a twin coil tank. Other tank sized are also available up to 400 litres.

The key benefit with split systems is the amount of control available as well as the ability to upsize systems for larger sites. Split systems run with a temperature switch that is controlled by a central digital controller, so you can set you temperature and the rest is automatic.

If you have a pool , it is possible to extend the system to incorporate pool heating facilities, call for details.
