Solar Space Heating / Solar Water Heating

Buderus Roof Mounting Solutions

Mounting solutions have been designed to insure the most aesthetic installation using robust high quality aluminum hardware that can withstand the most challenging environments like those with high wind and snow loads. Using adjustable roof jacks and pre-drilled rails, one can install the Buderus flat plat collectors using only an Allen wrench. The result is a clean and reliable on-roof or flat roof installation.

Heliodyne Helio Pak

Heating components consist of heat-transfer appliances as well as storage tanks. These are often thought of as the workhorse of a solar hot water system, as these are the components responsible for circulating and storing the heated solar water.

HELIO-PAK: Closed loop heat-transfer appliance

The Helio-Pak (HPAK) is an all-in-one heat-transfer assembly, specifically designed to simplify solar hot water systems and provide maximum heat transfer that is sixteen times faster than other heat transfer appliance on the market. The HPAK comes factory assembled and wired with all necessary components, making installation a trouble-free experience. Because the HPAK utilizes an external heat exchanger, it can often be adapted to the pre-existing hot water tank, reducing costs.

Standard Features:

• Augmented heat exchanger surface promotes maximum heat generation
• Superior heat transfer via unique counter-flow design

Solar Hot Water Module

The hot water module guarantees you a constant supply of fresh hot water by means of a temperature regulation system, which avoids any delays or temperature fluctuations.

Features:

• Supplies single- or multiple-family households
• 100% protection against lime scale build-up
• Minimal standby loss
• Special heat exchanger for low buffer temperatures
• Easily mounts to a Heliodyne hot water tank

Storage Tanks

Heliodyne tanks have been specifically designed for use with SHW systems. Design features such as built-in sensor ports and solar in/out connections minimize installation time and optimize performance, compared to using traditional off-the-shelf water heaters.

Features:

• 4.5 kW top electric element for auxiliary heating (certain models only)
• Cobalt enriched lining for long life
• Twin magnesium anode rods
• Pre-installed ports for interconnecting multiple tanks (certain models only)
• Factory installed brass drain valve
• 2 non-CFC foam insulation (R-16)
• Steel external jacket
• Built-in sensor ports for top & bottom temp. sensors
• Separate connections for solar heating

Rising energy costs and environmental concerns have put a new focus on renewable energy. With our technological innovations, modern residential solar hot water systems are extremely efficient at harnessing energy from the sun to heat water. In fact, dollar for dollar, a solar hot water system is more affordable, and provides greater energy output than any other form of renewable energy for your home.

Enjoy peace of mind, knowing that you’re taking steps to help preserve our environment, with the most cost effective, reliable, and efficient technology from Heliodyne™.

Selecting a solar water-heating system for your home has never been easier. We offer two types of systems:

Cool Climate System If your region is prone to freezing, then a cool climate (also known as “closed loop”) system is required. In this system, special non-toxic, freeze-resistant fluid is used, instead of water, to transfer heat. This process protects your system from burst pipes during winter or cold nights. A closed loop system is also recommended in areas where the water is hard, since it prevents scaling in the pipes.

• Suitable for all regions
• Recommended if freezing or water hardness is an issue
• Fully protected from overheating or freezing

Warm Climate System

A warm climate system (also known as “open loop” system) is very cost efficient, and works in areas that have soft water with no freezing. In this system, water circulates directly through the collectors and into your hot water tank. The simplicity of this system makes it very affordable.

• An economical choice
• Efficient direct water circulation
• Recommended for warm regions with good water quality
• Mild freeze-protection provided to a low of 40° F
