- The Solas Solar Water Heating System uses the sun to heat a transfer fluid in an apparatus called a solar panel or 'collector'.
- The collector is mounted on your roof to absorb the sun's light energy, which it converts into heat energy.
- The heated transfer fluid passes through a coil in a hot water cylinder to heat the water for household use, in much the same way a kettle's coil boils water.
- A pumping station pumps the transfer fluid through the collectors and down to the coil.
- This is operated by a control panel, connected to heat sensors that constantly monitor the temperatures in both the hot water cylinder and the solar collector.
