Solar Heating Installation

Rayotec Solar has over twenty years of experience in the solar power heating and energy market and provide an accomplished design and installation service for solar power systems throughout the UK and Ireland via a team of trained professionals and consultants.

Solar Heating Installation

Rayotec solar CPC INOX solar panels are versatile light weight modular panels that can be integrated together. Therefore, the solar panel design is ideal for construction purposes and can be incorporated easily into architectural building designs. The high efficiency of the collectors ensures that the area required for generating solar power is reduced compared to conventional solar power panels. Conventional solar power panels only work efficiently if mounted on a south facing roof. The Rayotec solar CPC INOX solar panels use a special design incorporating mirrors underneath the collectors in order to capture light from a greater range of angles. Rayotec solar CPC INOX solar panels are not dependent upon a south facing orientation for efficiency and perform exceptionally in a range of orientations.

Rayotec Solar can prepare the solar panels in the work shop so that the installer minimizes installation work on site. Rayotec solar can also provide a DIY solar heating installation manual which explains how to install the DIY solar heating system in detail, which is supported by a free help line service to assist with any unforeseen difficulties.

Rayotec Solar has over twenty years of experience in the solar power heating and energy market and provide an accomplished design and installation service for solar power systems throughout the UK and Ireland via a team of trained and experienced engineers and installers. Rayotec solar installations usually comprise the Rayotec solar CPC INOX solar panels, which are exceptionally easy to handle and can normally be installed within one or two days.

The Rayotec solar work shop, based in Sunbury-upon-Thames in Middlesex, is easy to access via the M25 and all neighbouring counties of greater London for our solar power installation engineers.

 
First class installers; would definitely recommend the company to anybody interested in solar energy systems. Mr Brailsford, Ashford
 

Cylinders

Vented cylinder

Vented cylinders are the most common type of water cylinder used in the UK and Ireland and are fed from a cold water tank. Solar power vented water cylinders have two heating coils, the bottom coil is heated by solar energy and the top coil is heated by the boiler or an immersion heater.

Unvented cylinder

Unvented cylinders are plumbed directly into the mains water pumped into the building, which enables mains pressure hot water for appliances such as showers without the need for pumps. However, unvented cylinders are unsuitable for properties receiving low pressure mains water or if solid fuel, wood burning stoves or similar appliances are installed.

Thermal store cylinder

Thermal store cylinders are designed to utilise multiple sources of heat from solar power to wood burning stoves to boilers in order to power domestic hot water as well as under-floor heating.

Roof fixtures

Sloping tiled roofs

The Rayotec solar CPC INOX solar panels are bolted onto channels which are fixed onto the rafters beneath the roof tiles in order to ensure the absolute minimum disruption to the roof. Installations are usually completed with only two small holes made into the roof for the inlet and outlet pipes to connect to the plumbing underneath the roof. Our installation experts will vary the installation method as appropriate according to the roofing tiles specifically if the roof has slate tiles.

Flat roof

In order to achieve the most efficient solar power output throughout the year solar panels should positioned in the optimum inclination facing south. Flat roof solar power systems need to be installed on an A frame in order to achieve this and an angle of approximately thirty to thirty five degrees is considered to be best.
