What you will need

The systems sold by Imagination Solar Limited have three components:

1. A 2.7m2 solar collector panel (or more if required).
2. A pre-assembled unit comprising of a pump, control unit and small drain back bottle.
3. A hot water cylinder with solar heat exchanger.

These components are plumbed together using insulated microbore copper pipe, before filling the solar system with normal tap water. The solar hot water system is normally set up in conjunction with the existing boiler.

The only running costs are a small low voltage power supply which uses less than £1 of electricity a year!

Due to the innovative drain back design of the system, no anti freeze is required and there are no maintenance problems due to pressure loss, as can occur in pressurised solar systems.
