Heliostorage - Solar Thermal Collectors
The Heliostorage solar thermal collectors have a unique patented profile that captures thermal energy throughout the day. Unlike flat panel collectors that require a specific elevation angle to achieve high efficiency at a single point in the day, the Heliostorage design maintains efficiency from sunrise until sunset, this is due to it’s built-in elevation angle. The solar collectors angular profile provides better solar radiation absorption during mornings and evenings than flat profile collectors.
The solar collectors are made of weather- and time-resistant aluminium profiles and stainless steel. The aluminium profiles are covered with a special black coating that effectively captures the sun’s heat. A durable polycarbonate plexiglass is installed on top of the profiles, so that the air layer between the profile and the plexiglass heats up and effectively heats the liquid circulating inside the profile.
Install on Roof or Mount on Land Frames
Heliostorage’s collectors work both as solar collectors and as a watertight roof. The profile can be used directly as metal roofing material so that it becomes part of the building structure, requiring only standard insulation underneath. As such, the Heliostorage’s solar collectors can completely replace an existing metal or tile roof. The solar collectors integrate seamlessly with other roof structures, making the building self-sufficient in terms of heat production.
Collectors can also be installed at ground level using frames. This allows for the creation of a solar thermal field for larger installations, such as district heating or industrial heating.
