Solar thermal kit with flat plate collector

SOL-K/EV - SOL-KC/EV

Energy saving and environmental pollution reduction are crucial global issues. Using renewable energies as alternative sources to fossil fuels can address both issues, with great benefits especially in countries where traditional energy sources are scarce. Considering the above, this system enables experimental investigation on the conversion of sunlight into thermal energy for domestic hot water production by means of a flat plate solar collector. The equipment is manufactured using real components available on the market.
