SolcoEurope, Lda

Company Description

Solco Europe manufactures the Solartech Genius Solar Hot Water Systems. It is the world most cost-effective solar hot water system. The main component of the Solartech solar hot water unit is a one piece integrated solar collector and storage tank formed in a plastics manufacturing process called Rotational moulding. The raw material used is an ultraviolet light stabilised polyethylene and has an anticipated life span of at least 15 years. The solar unit comes in a choice of 2 models, 200 litres or 300 litres that is more than enough for the average sized family.

Some of the major product features and benefits include:

Low cost - Solartech units are at least 50% less expensive to produce than the nearest comparable product found in any market to date.

Low maintenance cost - the unit will never rust, as the materials used are non-corrosive and maintenance free.

Unaffected by poor water quality and calcification, since polyethylene is an inert material which salts do not adhere and therefore the unit will not block up.

Long Life and durability - as the materials used are UV stabilised and resilient and have been used as large volume liquid storage containers situated in the Middle East for over 20 consecutive years.

Will not boil during long periods of hot SolcoEurope, Ldaather.

More efficient - the unit's design eliminates the traditional problem experienced in other storage hot water systems where the incoming cold water mixes with the stored hot water and therefore quickly reduces the tank temperature. 260 litres of water can be used from the Solartech 300 litre unit before there is a one-centigrade degree drop in water temperature.

Very short pay back period for the consumer, less than three years in Australia and most international regions.

Capacity is sufficient for most families.

Installation is very simple with only two plumbing fittings to be made.

Because of the fully flooded collector panel and the ability of the polyethylene to expand and contract the unit is totally unaffected by frost conditions.

Immersion electrical elements are available as standard.

Can be connected directly to slow combustion tile fires to provide auxiliary heating in the winter months.
