Demonstration Solar System

If you are considering installing a solar system in your own home or business please feel free to drop in to our show room in Kylemore Industrial Estate where you can see our demonstration system in operation as well as browse our extensive range of panels.
You can see the temperature readouts from the demo solar system day by day by clicking here

We are also more than happy to take the time to talk you through your options and explain the workings of the solar system, the pros and cons of each system and guide you through the grant process.

Contact us here to arrange an appointment to see the system.
Please click on the images below to see larger images of our demonstration system:

30 tube Solar Collector

This is a 30 x 47mm vacuum tube panel mounted almost vertically (20 degrees from vertical) on the wall of our warehouse. This allows us to maximise winter radiation when the sun is at a lower angle in the sky.

Solar Cylinder and accesories

Here you can see the 120Lt copper cylinder, pipework and pumpstation. The 120Lt cylinder is undersized for the 30 tube panel but as there would be daytime usage of hot water in the office we wanted to maximise the capability of the panel to reheat the water. There should be a metal container below the copper blow-off pipe in the image to collect any fluid that might be expelled in a pressure build up but it was missing when this photo was taken – i’ll get a complete picture up soon.
All of this will fit into a typical Hot Press but we have spaced everything out here so we can easily explain what pipe does what.

Solar Pumpstation

Here you can see the Flowcon A pumpstation installed on the return pipe with an 18litre expansion vessel attached.

Solar Heat Dump

Here is a picture of the heat dump, the green item is a three port motorised valve. This valve is controlled by the controller in the pumpstation and diverts the flow into the radiator when a specified heat in the cylinder is reached.
