Company profile Solartwin - Award winning, zero carbon solar water heating systems for washing and bathing. Solartwin the solar panel water heating system which is reliable, quickly fitted and surprisingly affordable. Solartwin gives you the satisfaction of knowing that your solar hot water is produced environmentally. How have we done this? We have eliminated the ecological contradiction inherent in conventional solar heating, which used to burn up mains electricity in order to deliver solar energy. Instead, Solartwin uses a clever 100% solar powered solar electric pump! Based on a Scottish engineer's award-winning invention, Solartwin also avoids the problem of frozen pipes bursting in winter - by just letting them freeze - flexibly! Solartwin + house = eco-home!

Solar Twin is the newest solar thermal technology, providing hot water completely free, and producing no CO2 emissions. Each panel can save 250kg of CO2 emissions each year where it replaces gas, much more if electricity or coal are the replaced fuel. Solar Twin’s design maximizes reliability, simplicity, environmental benefits and hot water delivery while minimising capital and running costs. Benefits in summary: • Zero carbon means the +/- 20% carbon clawback is avoided • Variable speed pumping can be more accurate than on-off pumping • We source sustainable materials where possible • Water as a heat transfer fluid has a higher heat capacity than glycol • Microbore pipes have lower distribution losses • Less waste: cylinder may not need replacing • High voltages are avoided (max 21V) • High pressures avoided (open vented system) • Large areas of glass are avoided • Panel is relatively light, making lifting safer • Silicone rubber does not nourish bacteria • Simple rapid retrofit installations are possible • Such installations inherently bring fewer problems • Stratification can give hotter water sooner in the day • Zero carbon solar is more fulfilling than low carbon solar • PV pumping means Solartwin works during gas or power cuts • Mains electrician skills not needed at installation Project and client list Please visit our website to view the latest www.solartwinprojects.com Click here to download: A selection of Case studies | ||||
