4 FAQs about Flat plate solar thermal panels

What is a flat plate solar thermal system?

Flat plate solar thermal systems are another common type of solar collector which have been in use since the 1950s.

What is a solar flat plate collector?

Solar flat plate collectors are an affordable solution to rising energy costs. Solar flat plates are long lasting, durable, and cost effective. Flat plate collectors are traditionally used in warmer, sunnier climates. For cooler, cloudier areas, and areas that have long, cold winters, you may wish to consider our solar evacuated tube collectors.

How much energy does a solar flat plate water heating system use?

Installing a solar flat plate water heating system for your home can reduce your energy consumption by as much as 40% to 50%.
