Today is bad again, dull and rain promised, this video of a customers installation at 10:23am shows just how powerful the SP501 is versus the ouput of a Solar PV (similar to flat plate).

Today is bad weather again, dull with lots of rain. Have a look at what your Surface Power solar system would be doing today if you had one ! The SP501 is a 4th generation solar thermal technology and uses patented thermal and material science to drive up performance to new ground breaking levels.

Surface Power has posted some of its confidential performance information certified this year to International Standards. We achieved a staggering 783 kWh/m2/pa. This performance is why we have excellent results from hot water and heating systems using our solar. All our systems are doing great even in this bad weather, depending on what % of annual hot water your system has been designed for, we are getting cylinder temperatures recorded up to 91C in this unsettled weather in the last week. If you want to know what this is like in real life, have a look at the following system located in the NW of Ireland, weather is windy, with rain forecast, currently overcast, photos taken at 10:40am.

Pictures from one of our customers systems taken at 10:20am on a day with unsettled weather on 22 July 2010. Once your system is sized and designed correctly, you will get a great return on your investment, don't forget, that Surface Power solar systems are not just powerful but have a design life of up to 50 years, WHY ?, because they are a new technology collector developed in 2005 for high power solar air conditioning.

This is live data from one of our systems in New Zealand, this system is only 1.9 sqm total size on a 180L cylinder. It is now 7 days after the SHORTEST day in winter in the southern hemisphere and our system is still able to meet mimimum hot water temperatures even with such a small system.

All our systems now come with online and remote monitoring where required even in domestic installations. All you need is broadband.
