The principle of the Integrated Storage Collector is simple: the UV-protected housing is heat-insulated and covered with an insulating glass panel so the water does not cool down at night. The interior features a reflector to direct the sun’s rays onto the water vessel, which heats up. The hot water is stored until needed, so that you can bath or shower at any time. No additional devices are needed, the unit requires minimal maintenance, and it has a practically unlimited lifetime.
The efficiency and the performance of the Integrated Storage Collector is comparable to the best vacuum-tube collectors and higher compared to the best flat-plate collectors. Less roof space is required compared to all other solar water heater systems.
The construction and the high material quality prevents degradation of the collector efficiency. Calcification and corrosion is prevented and no vacuum is lost. The performance of the Integrated Storage Collector is controlled by fortnightly cleaning, which is required during the Winter Season only.
The Integrated Storage Collector is operating very successfully since year 2000 in the United Arab Emirates and providing hot water for private houses, hotels, staff accommodations and labour camps.
We are offering accurate planning and simulation of the yearly solar performance to reduce the investment in the solar water heater system and to minimize the required backup.
Once commissioned the operational service for the Integrated Storage Collectors is limited to cleaning and visual inspection. The solar water heater systems amortises several times over during the enduring service life of the Integrated Storage Collector.
