Performance
The average annual output (south facing, 30o-50o) is 520kwh/m2/annum when used to provide hot water, and in excess of this when used to provide lower temperature outputs e.g. for space and pool heating.
Instantaneous output under full sun is up to 770w/m2. Panels are supplied by Solar North in 2.0m2 (1000 x 2000mm) and 2.9m2 (1450 x 2000mm) sizes solar panel, 2m2
Certification
The panels are manufactured in Europe and have been tested to EN12975 Parts 1 & 2 for solar collectors.
Installation
The panels may be installed over tiles using our galvanised fixing kits designed to hold one or two panels, or by using our stainless steel solar mounting bolts. We also supply stainless steel straps for mounting panels over slates. Flat roof / ground mounting kits are available in a selection of sizes.
The panels have 22mm copper spurs on the long (2m) sides (4 per panel), which may be connected with standard compression couplings. Two or more panels may be fitted together in a row as required. As an option we can supply horizontally orientated panels, with the connections on the short sides.
