Types of Solahart Systems

Solahart offers the following types of hot water systems:

Thermosiphon System – Solahart Classic Design

All Solahart systems which have a roof mounted tank use the thermosiphon principle. The dark, heat absorbent surface of the collector panels allows the sun to heat the cold fluid in the collector. As the fluid heats, it rises to the top of the panel and into the tank where it displaces cooler fluid. This flows in to the bottom of the collector panel where the process is repeated. All this is achieved with no moving parts!

Streamline System

In the Solahart streamline, the water storage tank is at ground level or inside the home. This reduces the visual impact of the collector on the roof. Cooler water is extracted from the bottom of the tank and pumped up to the collector panels where it absorbs the heat from the sun and returns it as hot water to the top of the tank. This is a continuous cycle to ensure a constant supply of hot water.

Heat Pump Systems – Synergy

The Solahart Synergy Heat Pump doesn’t have collector panels but uses efficient heat pump technology to extract heat from the surrounding air to heat water – like a fridge in reverse. Like its solar cousins, the heat pump has an electric back up function.

Commercial Systems

Solahart has a range of systems specifically designed for light commercial applications. From manifolded Thermosiphon systems to solar arrays providing boosting to existing conventional water heaters. Solahart commercial systems ensure motels, nursing homes, small office buildings and apartment blocks can make a significant contribution to the environment while, at the same time, reducing water heating costs.
