Technical FAQs 4

What is a flat plate solar collector?

In scientific terms, a flat plate solar collector is a solar thermal device designed to harness sunlight by absorbing heat on a broad, flat surface. It typically consists of: Fluid-filled tubes that carry the captured warmth for practical use, like heating water or air.

What is a solar flat plate water heating system?

A solar flat plate water heating system is a very simple and maintenance free way to immediately reduce your monthly energy costs. Both evacuated tube systems and flat plate solar hot water systems work in a similar manner.

What are the advantages of flat plate solar panels?

These systems tend to have lower initial expenses compared to other solar technologies like concentrated solar power systems. The materials used in the construction of flat plate collectors, such as aluminum, glass, and plastic, are generally less expensive and readily available.

Should I install a solar flat plate system?

Installing a solar flat plate system would mean significantly reducing - or eliminating - these costs. Furthermore, our solar hot water systems qualify for the Federal 30% tax credit, meaning that 30% of the installed cost of your solar hot water system is returned to you the next time you file your taxes.
