AUROTHERM EXCLUSIVE
Solar water heating systems
Solar water heating systems
Vaillant Solar water heating systems can generate between 50-60% of your hot water.
Solar water heating panels are placed on a South facing roof or mounted on frames placed on a flat roof or on the ground. These panels are then angled between 15 – 75 degrees to maximise the exposure to the Sun’s rays which are used to heat water stored in a tank.
By installing a solar water heating system, not only would you be reducing your carbon footprint, you can also make savings on your energy costs.
The saving generated will vary depending on the size of the property, the size of the solar water heating installation and the amount of sunlight in your area but some householders have been known to reduce their annual energy bills by anything between 30-70%.
A solar water heating system will also provide you with hot water throughout the year and can be backed up by a boiler or immersion heater in the colder months when there is not as much sunlight.
AUROTHERM
The auroTHERM exclusive range of solar thermal systems, is a renewable technology range which can deliver up to 60% 
of your annual domestic hot water requirements, by installing premium vacuum tube collectors (panels) on the roof of your property, which are connected to an indoor pump system, hot water cylinder and system boiler.
Helping to reduce your carbon emissions at home, and add value to your property, our most efficient and high performing collector; the auroTHERM exclusive, achieves the highest annual solar yield due to the innovative tube design of the collector.
The auroTHERM exclusive system achieves greater total solar coverage throughout the year than any other Vaillant solar system, meaning high performance for a longer period of time.
The auroTHERM exclusive collector has a small footprint which gives more flexibility for siting in a variety of locations on the roof.
The design is perfect for vertical on roof or flat roof installations.
As with each of our solar thermal systems the auroTHERM exclusive helps to reduce your carbon emissions at home by lowering boiler dependence for hot water, and can add significant value to your property.
How does it work?
The solar collectors absorb diffused (indirect) radiation from the sun (meaning you will still benefit from solar gain even on a cloudy or cooler day).
The heat energy is then transferred via an indoor pump station to a twin coil cylinder, where hot water can be stored and called off as needed for the home.
The system requires a secondary central heating and hot water source to support the solar system, and this is usually in the form of a system boiler like the ecoTEC plus. The entire system can be controlled simply and effectively using a solar controller such as the VRC 470.
What type of home could this be suitable for?
Many homes could have solar thermal technology installed alongside a new system boiler.
A suitable home will need sufficient roof space for the required number of collectors, and must also be the correct orientation (A south facing roof for example) to benefit from solar thermal radiation
Features & benefits
Innovative collector design provides greater solar coverage and efficiency throughout the year.
Weatherproof auroTHERM exclusive collector features toughened glass tubes to protect against extreme conditions.
Individual tubes are manufactured with a special coating to maximise solar gain.
