Hello everyone, my name is Steve and welcome to http://www.aquaheat.org.uk. Today we are
showing you an installation of solar panels that we've done. This is a solar panel system
that provides hot water for the property. On this particular installation, we fitted
two landscape solar panels on to a flat roof and they're staggered one behind the other.
We've got one here and then we have another one here. They're both connected by this pipework
here, it goes down, through the roof into where the solar cylinder is; we can talk about
that afterwards. So normally on these panels on a flat roof, they do sit side by side.
On this particular installation to comply with local planning, they've requested that
they've been fitted one behind the other, which we can do. With reverse style solar
panels you can fit them on a pitched roof they'll either be on the roof or you can fit
them mounted. This particular one is landscape, you can have portrait, which is like a portrait
picture basically. This particular one is a Solar Worcester Bosch FKT-1W. This is a
more high efficiency solar panel, than the standard panel they do and it soaks up more
UV's from the sun because of better performance. You will even find on days like today, where
it is a bit cloudy and overcast that there is a lot of UV's around and you can still
heat up hot water even on days like today. That's about it really; it's quite a simple
installation. We fit the frames, we assemble everything. We fit the solar panels in, run
the pipework lagging in, it's wired into a sensor, which we've done. The next stage is
downstairs at the solar cylinder, where the solar control station is and I can explain
that all to you in the next video, if you want to have a look, which is the solar panel
installation number 2 video. Thank you.
