What is the maximum solar heated water temperature that your solarpanels can achieve?
Water and steam at 100C is theoretically possible if you were to switch the solar pump off on a hot sunny day. But please don’t do this. With the pump running we have only ever achieved 87C so far In independent tests on our complete solar water heating system in UK. But 150C internally for the thermal solar panel if left dry in the sun, is possible but does not hapen in normal operation of the solar panels since they are always kept pumped at temperatures. Back to the top FAQ: My family is hoping to self-build a zerocarbonhouse in the next few months and would be interested in installing a DIY Solartwin solar pannels system. However, I would prefer to have a rising main water system and avoid cold water storage tanks altogether. After some unpleasant past experiences of water tanks – leakage and dead wildlife among them – my prejudice on the matter is strong enough to rule out solar heating on this grounds alone! Is it possible to fit your system without a storage tank? A: The princip
