Solar Flat Plate Water Heating

Solar Flat Plate Collectors

Solar flat plate collectors are normally installed in conservation Areas, sites of outstanding beauty and the like, but can also be installed in many different configurations which will make it more pleasing to the eye.

Solar Flat Plate Brands
Allbrite UK Ltd offer the high efficiency compact range and premium range from Schüco and Kingspans Thermomax range.

The panels used will sometimes be dictated by the type of solar installation required, all panels are suitable for on-roof solar installation and in-roof solar installation, however if you require a facade, canopy or whole roof installation we would tend to offer the Schüco range of panels and solar fixing sundries.
