Rayotec Solar is a leading solar heating design, supply and installation company. Since 1987 we have installed over 6,000 systems, including many commercial solar heating projects for clients like the Royal Navy, Gatwick Airport, Body Shop International, HSBC, BMW and Nottingham University. We have served the solar requirements for engineering consultants such as Hoare Lea, Halcrow, Mowlem, MITIE and Faber Maunsell.
As an accredited supplier and installer Rayotec's installations benefit from any government grants available at the time.
Rayotec Solar was established over twenty years ago as one of the leading solar power heating companies. Rayotec solar have installed over six thousand solar power systems in the UK including commercial installations for Nottingham University, BMW, HSBC, Body Shop International, Gatwick Airport and the Royal Navy. Rayotec solar have met the stringent requirements of the major engineering consultants including Faber Maunsell, MITIE, Mowlem, Halcrow and Hoare Lea.
For examples of our commercial solar heating installations:
Rayotec solar CPC INOX solar heating panels are among the best performing solar power heating panels available. However, the main reason they are in such high demand is the exceptional build quality, durability and reliability of the solar panel, which is accomplished through the use of high grade materials and experienced manufacturing techniques. The Rayotec solar CPC INOX solar panels are constructed entirely from borosilicate glass meaning exceptional durability. The solar collector is capable of sustaining stagnation temperatures as high as 295 degrees Celsius, which is essential in large commercial installations that can experience rapid increases in temperature due to possible power cuts. The Rayotec solar CPC INOX is one of the most reliable solar panels available and has an exceptional life expectancy to ensure maximum return on investment.
The best application of solar power heating is in apartment blocks is for solar heating to be collected at one or two central cylinders to feed into separate plots. This means that the benefits of solar heating will be unevenly distributed to the highest users of hot water. Another slightly less practical set up is for each apartment to have an individual cylinder ensuring that all plots get the same benefit.
The best solution for solar heating installations on a group of houses is usually for each plot to have an individual cylinders and solar panels. The number of solar heating panels required depends upon the likely level of occupancy of the property as well as the roof orientation and length of plumbing required for the system.
Solar power heating can vastly reduce the high running costs of either indoor or outdoor large swimming pools. A typical commercial solar power heating installation for an outdoor swimming pool is an unglazed collector which is a cheaper solution that is ideally suited for use in warmer months during the season of outdoor swimming. The more efficient vacuum solar panels are more appropriate for indoor swimming pools because they can make a heating contribution all year round. More about solar heating for swimming pools.
The number of solar power panels required for a commercial swimming pool solar heating system depends upon the surface area of the pool. A usual solar heating system is designed to compensate for heat loss from the pool. Heat loss suffered by a swimming pool is almost always in direct proportion to the surface area of the pool. Solar heating panels need to cover an area approximately 30 – 50% of the size of the surface area of the swimming pool.
Solar power installations for factories, offices, hotels, schools and other commercial buildings can be used to contribute towards the hot water consumption of the building in order to make an efficient use of solar energy, make a significant reduction in energy costs and reduce carbon emissions. The number of solar power panels required is dependent on the orientation of the panels, the size of the calorifier and the length of pipework required for the installation.
