Solaris - Thermal solar system
The high-performance solar system for hot water and heating support. ROTEX Solaris uses free solar energy and thereby supports the heating system. Solaris flat collectors are available in three versions. They can be used flexibly in on-roof, in-roof or flat roof mounting. All ROTEX thermal stores are already optimized for the use of solar energy. In combination with the ROTEX thermal storage tanks, the free-of-charge power of the sun is exploited in a highly-effective manner for hot water generation and heating support. This combination convinces by its highest level of energy efficiency thanks to low heat losses, perfect water hygiene and unlimited hot water convenience.
ROTEX Solaris high performance solar collectors
The ROTEX Solaris offers a flexible solar thermal system providing water heating and space heating backup, to be used for pressurised solar and drain-back applications. The Solaris solar panels convert almost all of the shortwave solar radiation into heat through their highly selective coating. The three solar panel sizes and different assenbly types mean there is flexibility in adapting to roof characteristics. Since all buildings are different, there are various installation options for fitting the ROTEX flat solar panels onto the roof.
Maximum water hygiene day after day
The ROTEX thermal stores were conceived in accordance with the latest thermal technology and water hygiene requirements. Its structure is fundamentally different from normal large volume hot water storage tanks. As a result of its design concept it delivers hygienically perfect hot water at any time. The actual heat is not stored in the domestic water itself, but in the storage tank water which is clearly separated from it. The optimum tank layering ensures that a supply of hot water is always available.
Innovative heat storage concept - Hygienic, flexible and future-oriented
All ROTEX products with the ECH2O label are characterized by a unique heat storage principle. Particularly space-saving, with the highest warm water comfort and open for additional heat sources.
ROTEX Solaris solar panels - flexible assembly
The Solaris solar panels convert almost all of the shortwave solar radiation into heat through their highly selective coating. The three different solar panel sizes mean there is flexibility in adapting to roof characteristics. Since all buildings are different, there are various installation options for fitting the ROTEX flat solar panels onto the roof. The solar panels can be fitted onto the tiles (on-roof ), into the roof (in-roof ) or also with a special substructure onto a flat roof.
Solar energy also to assist in heating
ROTEX Solaris uses solar energy for water heating and effectively supports heating. In all ROTEX solar thermal stores, and the gas condensing/solar combination (GCU compact) and heat pump/solar combination (HPSU compact) with a storage tank volume of 500 litres, solar heating support has also been integrated ready for connection, alongside the solar hot water generation. If the solar heat is not consumed immediately, the ROTEX solar thermal store can store large volumes of solar heat and it is possible to use the heat for hot water or heating hours later or even the next day.
