Key Points About Solar Thermal
Solar thermal is a simple and reliable technology, which should be part of every home's heating system. |
However the refit costs of retrofitting to existing homes often outweighs the benefits.
|
The SolaPlug solves this problem by plugging solar heating into your existing hot water cylinder.
|
|
A SolaPlug is the often the best and most cost effective way to retrofit solar. |
What Does A SolaPlug Do ?
 |
| Installation with Twin Coil Cylinder |
|
SolaPlug retrofitted to a "normal" cylinder |
The heat from the solar panel is transferred to the water via the bottom coil of the new solar cylinder.
Typically, fitting a new twin coil unvented cylinder costs as much as fitting the solar panel to the roof. |
|
The heat from the solar panel is transferred to the water via the SolarPlug fitted to the existing cylinder.
Providing a sound, efficient & cost effective retrofit solution. |
What is a SolaPlug ?
| ● A SolaPlug fits into your hot water tank and provides an additional heat exchanger to connect to your solar thermal panels. |
| ● SolaPlugs fit through the immersion port & are available for cylinders with vertical (top mounted) & horizontal (side mounted) immersions. |
|
●
SolaPlugs fit into vented & unvented cylinders.
|
| ● A SolaPlug installation is MCS compliant, RHI and Grant Eligible. |
|
 |
|
| SolaPlug is a practical retrofit option, compatible with all
solar thermal panels. |
| What are The benefits ? |
| ●
Saves installation time. |
| ● A SolaPlug installation is about 30% cheaper than a conventional installation using a new twin coil cylinder. |
| ● By retaining your existing tank, the carbon footprint of your solar installation is minimised. |
|
 |
| ● The internal heat exchanger placed low in the cylinder is more
efficient than external heat exchangers feeding into the
top |
| ● Saves the cost of buying & fitting a new cylinder. |
| ● Space in the airing cupboard remains unchanged. |
| ● Enables more home owners to justify fitting solar water heating. |
| SolaPlugs are designed & manufactured in the UK with full UK Patent Protection & European Pending |
