Solar Hot Water System | SolarPeak AP30

30 Tube Solar Thermal Collector For Hot Water Heating.

Dimensions: Width 2100mm x Length 2000mm

The Industrial grade SolarPeak AP30 Solar Water Heating System is designed to heat your water efficiently and reliably. With the highest performance of up to 86% efficiency *(see EECA test report), this system is capable of heating over 300 litres of water during summer and 150-180 litres on a typical winter day with ample solar radiation.

Suitable for households of 3-5 people, this system offers exceptional value and functionality. The SolarPeak system components and installation is unique. Unlike others we have systems still performing well after 15-20 years.

The best system design must include hot water cylinder of 300 + litres mains medium or low pressure with a mid element and lower element controlled by a rotator switch. Only copper and stainless cylinders are suitable for direct pumped water SolarPeak water heating. If using a new enamel cylinder a coil is required and special control valves are required to ensure lower temperatures.

The SolarPeak solar collector is unlike others on the market, our tubes are superior, the hot end is shrouded in the stainless manifold to protect heat loss and are secured with stainless steel 316 clips at the SS frame which floats above the roof cladding on stainless bolts certified to withstand high winds equivalent to that no a 9 storey building in Wellington.

SolarPeak are accredited by the solar association of New Zealand we invite you to visit the www.solarassociation.org.nz/content/solar-association-new-zealand

SolarPeak assisted with the system design specification for mid /and twin element Peter cocks Solar Ready Copper or Stainless Cylinders that have become the benchmark for near maintenance free durable long life cylinders . SolarPeak have Merchant status for the Peter Cocks Range and can offer excellent prices to you on standard and custom sized cylinders.

Why SolarPeak collectors outperform others:

• Stainless clad manifold with mineral rockwool insulation

• Tubes enter the manifold port buy 60mm to protect from the weather unlike others that use cheap external plastic shrounds that leak and can damage the heat exchange interface

• Pipe connectors are 20mm BSP to the side of the manifold unlike others that protrude on an angle at the back which promote water increase inside the manifold form capillary action and look awful

• Most powerful proven collector on the market for its size

• 10-year limited warranty

• Black coated stainless frame with 316 stainless tube holding clips unlike others that use cheap plastic

• Industrial grade slim simple design lines that sit flush a\nd aesthetic against a pitched roof

• The strongest construction of any new Zealand solar collector

• The SolarPeak roof frame elevated roof fixing method keeps the frame off of the cladding unlike others

• The SolarPeak roof fixing method meets high wind zones

• Minimum maintenance required

• For 23 years SolarPeak collectors have proven themselves in the harsh New Zealand environment

• Suitable for on and off grid situations including in phase solar circulation pumps.

With our SolarPeak AP30 Solar Water Heating System you can heat your water 3 times faster than a photovoltaic (PV system) of the same surface area. We have sold thousands of SolarPeak systems over the past 20 years and or clients keep telling us they are so good!
