Sueka Solar thermal for your hotwater
Modern lifestyles need a flexible supply of hot water. Although daylight can provide all of your hot water, you can't turn it on when you want to. Our solar system is designed to compliment your original hot water system to create the flexibility you need.
The average household needs the equivalent of 3000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy per year to provide all of its hot water. The map shows that energy in daylight can provide at least 900 kWh per square metre of roof per year.
We have often been asked by clients who install Sueka heaters for advice on how to get an economical source of hotwater. We've been to many trade fairs, met many providers, but we're now without doubt that Solarsense - a Long Ashton based company, has mastered the perfect solution for you.

A major breakthrough in the field of renewable energy has brought about revolutionary solar collector for all climates. The evacuated solar collector utilising the latest 'heat-pipe' technology is an efficient and durable collector designed to provide hot water throughout the year and to save a considerable amount in expensive fossil fuels.
Construction
The absorber plate is treated with a semi-conductor layer. This special 'wavelength selective' coating ensures high energy absorption and low heat radiation losses. Infra red rays which pass through the clouds are also absorbed and converted into usable heat.
Transfer of heat from the plate to the water is via an efficient heat conductor – the heat-pipe – with very low heat capacity but fast heat conductivity.
The properties of the heat-pipe plus the construction of the condenser enable the temperatures to be controlled – ensuring safety and eliminating the need for a complex control unit.
The absorber with the heat pipe is covered by a glass tube and the air inside is evacuated to eliminate thermal losses occurred by conduction and convection, which results in a higher energy gain. The vacuum also protects the absorber plate, selective coating and the heat-pipe against rain, moisture, air and pollution – providing excellent durability.
