Solartwin
The best quality, convenience and design under the sun
High performance off-grid solar hot water at a brilliant
price...
 |
Solartwin
is far simpler than traditional solar.
|
|
Minimizing
disruption, Solartwin usually takes less than a day to fit.
|
Low
running costs! Why?
No
mains electric bills, thanks to Solartwin’s 100% solar pump. Solartwin =
heat + electricity.
|
Solartwin
often needs less top-up heating than traditional solar, thanks to more hot
and less tepid water.
|
Rapid
fitting, less top-up heating & solar
powered pumping = real value!
Simple,
technically elegant, double award winning new technology
The
Solartwin design brief maximizes
reliability,
simplicity, environmental benefits and hot water delivery while minimizing capital
and running costs.
Invented
at Napier University, Edinburgh, Solartwin won a DTI “Smart Award” for its
innovative freeze-tolerant technology. In 2003 it won again - a “Smart
Achievement Award” - for commercial success.
Hidden
in the patented heat absorber are unique flexible water channels.
|
Double-glazing
in front lets the sun’s heat and light inside. “Twin-optimised”
heat absorber coatings make it very hot.
|
|
Daylight
runs an “intelligent” variable speed
solar electric pump.
|
|
It
pumps cold water, via a narrow pipe, from the bottom of your existing hot
water cylinder into the panel. Here, the water heats up. |
|
Thanks
to the pump, your solar hot water then delivers itself, direct, to the top
of the cylinder. That’s it. |
100%
solar electric pumping eliminates the typical 20% environmental penalty
associated with using mains electricity to run solar heating pumps and controls.
A
recent UK government-funded study1
of eight solar water heating systems at Milton Keynes confirmed what has long
been suspected: that the environmental benefits of solar can be substantially
improved by eliminating mains electricity.
Flat
plate solar heating systems negated an average of 17% of their potential global
warming benefits (i.e. CO2 savings) by
using mains electricity. For partial-vacuum tubes, their loss averaged even
higher, at 23%. In other words, if you run mains-powered solar for ten years,
its electricity consumption deletes its CO2 saving by about two years.
Solartwin’s
environment-centered design brief specifies a solar electric pump. So your CO2
savings won’t retreat two steps after advancing ten.

Freeze-tolerant
technology for both performance and simplicity
Solartwin’s
flexible thermally conductive pipes actually freeze solid in winter without
cracking. In sun, they thaw out fast. This “Holy Grail” of solar makes
Solartwin unique, by:
|
Eliminating
most of the
controllers,
plumbing, antifreeze, unreliability & maintenance inherent in
traditional solar.
|
|
Usually
delivering hotter water
whether
it is sunny or overcast, and earlier in the day. Why? Because of
Solartwin’s variable speed single pass pumping, twin-optimized
zoned coatings, no heat exchangers and stratified (top down) hot water
storage. More about these innovations later...
