solar systems

The orientation of your house (east/south/west) must be measured accureately in order to obtain maximum benefit from solar heating.  These days, dDeviations towards east or west have no influence on purchasing a solar system.  Using the table below, you can easily see that only a bit more collector surface is required to compensate for an eastern or western orientation.

Example:  You want to install a solar heating system on your roof.  The roof has a pitch of 30 degrees and is oriented 45 degrees to the west.  Your line is the dark blue one.  Find the 45 degree deviation from the south to the west on the east/west axis (x axis) and draw a line from the 45 degree point up to the dark blue line.  From this point, go straight to the left horizontally until you come to percent annual yield.  In this case, the annual yield is 88%; this means that your system yields 88% of the possible 100% that an optimal southern location has.  You only require 12% more collector area to achieve 100%.   According to the calculation for the optimal southern orientation, if you need 20 metres square of collector surface, you will need to install 12% (2.4 metre square) more collector area due to your western orientation.

We are pleased to announce the introduction of a broad range of TiSUN products and systems to the IHS range.  Manufactured in Tirol, Austria by one of the leading solar manufacturers in Europe, the brand is renowned for its robustness and durability.

solar hot water heating sets This is an indispensable starter set for the intelligent use of solar power.  Water can be heated particularly economically with this set.  Each set comprises: module collectors, solar tank, regulator, expansion tank, pre-mixed antifreeze and water mixer.  More

solar stratified tank The Pro Clean Stratified Tank, with its intelligent technology, is a simple and efficient back up heating unit.  It stores excess solar heat for heating and hot water, for cloudy or overcast days.  Combined with a solar heating system, it can save you up to 90% of your heating costs annually.  More

module collectors These module collectors can be used for in-roof, roof mounted and free standing installations.  They can be installed horizontally or vertically.  Suitable mounting systems can be supplied for every type of roofing.  More
