In the Individual Solar Water Heater and Collective Solar Water Heater configurations, the water is directly heated by the DualSun SPRING® panels while circulating in a closed loop between the panels themselves and a solar hot water tank that is generally located inside the building that the panels are installed upon. An intelligent controller triggers water circulation as soon as it detects enough sunlight to provide heat to the hot water tank.
When used as part of a Sanitary Hot Water system, the DualSun SPRING® panel produces twice the quantity of energy per m² as a simple photovoltaic panel!
An installation of SPRING® panels supplements the main domestic water heating system. When used less frequently, the lifespan of the conventional water heater increases while its consumption levels and associated energy bills decrease.
