Schüco Premium V
Flat Plate Solar Collector
The Schüco Premium V highperformance solar collector converts solar energy into heat and is excellent for providing domestic hot water as well as for heating swimming pools. The highly selective absorber coating and optimum thermal insulation maximize efficiency. The absorbed solar heat is transferred to a storage tank by freeze-protected, non-toxic solar fluid through a serpentine copper pipe.
Features
- High efficiency with high selectivity absorber coating
- Low energy loss due to excellent thermal insulation
- Robust silver anodized aluminum frame for maximum durability
- Corrosion-resistant materials for high reliability and long service life
- High transparency, low-iron glazing
- Superior flow control over conventional header/riser designs
- Suitable for pitched roof, flat roof, Synergy roof®, awning, and façade installation
- Tempered glass inset a full half-inch into the frame
- Quick and simple installation with SolarEZ mounting hardware, collector connectors, and installation accessories
- Serpentine piping, 1 connection on each long side for portrait orientation of collector
- Certifications: SRCC OG-100, CE, DIN EN 12975-2, DIN CERTCO, EC guideline 97/23/EC
