Viessmann and Solar Thermal

Viessmann has been selling solar panels worldwide for decades and already has the largest UK* and European market share of solar panels. Viessmann has always led the way in the design, development and manufacture of solar panels and the result is the Vitosol range of high quality, durable products for domestic and large scale commercial installations. All Viessmann renewable energy products are designed to be totally compatible with Viessmann boilers, cylinders and controls for easy installation and maximum efficiency.

There are two types of Vitosol panels, Flat plate collectors and Tube panels: you will find links below to the Viessmann  site which can provide you more in detail information about the systems. Alternatively why not give us a call and we would be more than happy to answer any of your questions.

Flat plate collectors:

These panels (such as the Vitosol 200-F ) should ideally be sited on a south facing, pitched roof facing between SW and SE. Where flat panel installations are an option, the panels can either be mounted on top of the roof tiles, or integrated into the roof. The Vitosol 100F has optional colour coded edge strips, to match to the roof tiles. Below is an illustration of a typical Vitosol Flat Panel.

Tube Panels:

Tube panels (such as the Vitosol 200-T and Vitosol 300-T ) offer more flexibility in siting; the individual tubes can be rotated towards the sun to maximize absorption. There is also the option to install tubes on flat roofs and vertically on walls. Tubes tend to be slightly more expensive than flat panels, but they offer higher efficiency levels, especially in colder times of the year. Another advantage of tubes is that they are much easier to lift onto the roof, as the tubes and components can be carried up individually, rather than one heavy unit. It’s also easy to replace a tube, should one get damaged, thanks to the patented click-system. (Vitosol 200T)
