Description Components Manifold & Frame 20 Vacuum tubes Solar Retrofit Installation Kit Geyserwise 12V Circulation Pump Bracket for EVT Frame 10W PV Geyserwise Panel 500mm Silicone Inserts 22mm Lagging x 3 Thermostatic Mixing Valve 7-Day Digital geyser Timer 20A The solar collector system utilizes vacuum tubes to harness solar energy. These tubes are resistant to freezing and are equipped with silicone inserts for added protection. They are installed on both ends of the vacuum tube manifold, which is connected to exposed copper pipes on the roof. To prevent heat loss, it is advisable to insulate the pipework with Thermal Pipe Lagging. Additionally, it is recommended to lag all interior roof pipes to further minimize heat loss. Inside the roof, a 12V solar circulation pump is installed. This pump is connected to the cold water supply from the electric water heater. Its power is derived from a 10W solar panel mounted on the roof’s exterior.
