Thermal Solar Collectors

Heat represents almost half of the energy demand in Europe and accounts for the greater part of European households’ energy bills.

Thermal solar collectors provide heat in a clean, sustainable and economic way, following a basic principle: solar radiation is collected and the resulting heat is conveyed to a heat transfer medium – usually a fluid or air. The heated medium is used either directly (to heat tap water for example) or indirectly by means of a heat exchanger that transfers the heat to its final destination.

This technology is mainly used for:

• domestic hot water and space heating,
• district heating,
• industrial process heat and
• air conditioning and cooling.

Adding high-performance insulation to your solar panels means adding great value for your domestic and industrial customers. Insulation in solar thermal collectors helps save and concentrate heat energy. By avoiding thermal losses through the rear and the sides of the collector, insulation optimizes the efficiency of the collector, enabling the maximum amount of collected heat to be transferred to the circulating fluid.

ISOVER has developed a unique range of mineral wool products designed specifically for Solar applications.

Based on ULTIMATE, a unique material exclusively made by ISOVER, our U SOLAR insulation solutions are suitable for flat single-glazed ventilated collectors, with standard or reflective glass, and working temperatures of up to 250°C. 

A perfect combination of high thermal performances and sustainability.
