Our flat plate collectors utilise the latest collector technology including prismatic glass and titanium oxide absorber coating, both of which maximise performance

The metal sheet absorber sits between the glazing and insulation and collects the radiation that passes through the glass.

This heat is transferred to the water/glycol mix that flows through the copper pipes in the panel. The fluid is then pumped along circulating pipes before passing through a heat exchanger in the hot water cylinder or thermal store, where the heat is made available.

System design

Up to eight collectors can be fitted from one pump station, so even the largest project can be catered for. Nu-Heat’s experienced designers will advise on the correct system configuration to fully achieve optimum efficiency for domestic hot water depending on your requirements. The Nu-Heat design and sizing process uses its own unique calculation package to specify the ideal configuration of cylinder, solar collectors and ancillary components for the project. Our specification process has been developed in conjunction with European solar design software, TSol, as well as the Government's SAP Building Regulations’ assessment criteria.

	Type SC01 This system is configured for use with conventional boilers to optimise solar energy harvested for domestic hot water production whilst also contributing to the underfloor heating in spring and autumn, further reducing energy bills.

	Type SC02 This system is configured to optimise solar energy harvested for domestic hot water production whilst also contributing to the space heating in spring and autumn, running in conjunction with a ground source or air source heat pump. It can make a valuable contribution to achieving Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
