Solar - Solatron S2.5

The SOLATRON S2.5 from ELCO is a state-of-the-art collector which has been designed to be versatile, economic and incredibly easy to fit – needing only a cordless screwdriver, a hammer and a tape measure!

SOLATRON S2.5 is available in both horizontal and vertical hydraulically-optimised versions and each orientation is supplied with matching mounting systems and roof flashings.  Collector fields can be created from multiple panels, and the connections are simple – with the minimum of tools.  

Thanks to the SOLATRON S2.5’s full surface copper absorber and highly selective coating, the collector surface is highly energy efficient and can be used for domestic hot water as well as acting as central heating back up. To ensure its long life and excellent performance, the 10 mm thick absorber pipes are ultrasonically welded to the absorber in a wave style layout. This ensures outstanding thermal contact and optimum heat transfer from the absorber to the conductor fluid. The collector is contained in a self-supporting aluminium housing with full metal base plate and metal-strengthened plastic edges.  To maintain constant temperatures and deliver minimal heat loss, the collector is vacuum packed within depleted mineral wool insulation.

The cover of the SOLATRON S2.5 is manufactured from 3.2 mm thick solar safety glass which meets the highest hail protection requirements and has a structured surface to reduce reflection. The panel is cemented with weather-resistant silicone to keep rain and melt water from penetrating the collector.

To make installation effortless and easy – and therefore cost effective, the SOLATRON S2.5 is lightweight (at less than 50kG) and comes with integrated carrying handles. There is also an option for four carrying straps, which, when screwed on to the sides of the collector, make carrying or lifting by crane hook simple.  SOLATRON S2.5 also features intelligent connector technology enables virtual tool-free assembly of the hydraulic circuit points.
