Facts

Did you know that a standard solar installation can produce up to 60% of your annual hot water needs
The exact distance between Earth and the Sun varies with its position in its orbit, which is elliptical. The average distance (the mean distance) between the Earth and the Sun is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles).
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is also called 1 astronomical unit (or AU). This is established as 149, 597, 870.7 kilometers (92,955,887.6 miles).

• Aphelion (when the Earth is the farthest from the Sun) occurs around the first week of July. The distance is about 152 million km (94.4 million miles).

• Perihelion (when the Earth is closest to the Sun) occurs in the first week of January. The distance is about 147 million km (91.3 million miles).

Solar Thermal Panels



The Genersys range of solar panels is now a more complete offering. No solar panel replaces the other, but offers the consumer better choice according to their requirements and application:

For homes and pools
The Genersys 1000-10 solar panel is well suited to domestic hot water heating, including pools, central heating, and underfloor heating applications. The 1000-10 solar panel has also been used in many commercial applications and can generate over 1200 kWh per panel a year.

For higher performance
The Genersys 1450 can also be used for all applications, but offers better performance in very cold weather and is also more suitable for space heating and air conditioning applications than the 1000-10; also useful if roof space is more limited.

For extreme performance
The Genersys 1850 is intended only for industrial and commercial applications that need high and constant heat requirements. The absorber surface is made from a titanium oxide coating and gets very, very hot. Factories, hospitals and other industrial processes will benefit from the robust design and features of the 1850. . . .
