Redland ST 4 and ST 6 Solar Water Heating Systems harness the power of the sun to provide environmentally friendly hot water. They have been designed to generate up to 70% of your hot water requirement.
working principles
Solar Panels collect the sun's heat which is then stored and used when needed.
Electronic controllers compare the temperature of the panels with the temperature in the cylinder.
Whenever the panels are hotter than the cylinder, the controller switches on the systems' pump, circulating a liquid with anti-freezing properties through the panels and the cylinder's heat exchanger, thus heating the cylinder in the same way as a central heating boiler.
If there is not enough heat in the panels, the conventional boiler will top up the heat.
Hence a conventional heating system is still required to complement the solar panels.
