With close coupled systems, the solar collector panels and the storage tank are both located on the roof. The advantage of this system is the ability to free up space around the base of the house. In the close-coupled installation, the solar tank is mounted above the collectors on the roof, and the water heated in the panels rises by the natural thermosiphon principle through the collectors into the tank, and is recirculated through the panels until the water reaches the required temperature.
BENEFITS:
- Technically very efficient, economical to install and low maintenance.
- No recirculating pumps and pipe runs – reducing heat losses and improving running efficiencies.
- No electricity required to operate pumps to recirculate the water through the panels.
- Eliminates the need for a storage tank at ground level – ideal for courtyard homes or small blocks.
- Wide range of Colorbond colours available.
- Gas booster can be recessed in a wall cavity saving precious space.
