Heating water is energy and carbon intensive

3,400 kWh of energy1

1,240 kg of carbon2

Heating water is an energy intensive process, typically met using electricity or gas.

A household of four will typically consume approximately 200 litres of hot water per day. This adds up to 3,400 kWh of energy and up to 1,240 kilograms of carbon every year.

But current solar hot water solutions are

Unattractive design Large, bulky, and visually obtrusive, current designs are not adequate for flat-roof buildings

04

Reach excessive temperature Can reach excessive temperatures, reducing system lifetime and safety

Complex installation Designed for northern colder climates, not sunny equatorial regions like the Middle East

MEET SOLARISKIT

the new and attractive solar heating solution

Modern and attractive design

06

Safe temperature (always)

Simpler to install

The SolarisKit solar heating solution is uniquely suited for flat-roof and ground installations

A unique prismatic design solar collector to convert solar energy into heat

Attractive & discrete Modern design and low profile compared to flat-plate solar collectors

Multiple Applications Multiple solar collectors can be easily combined to suit multiple applications

Easy to Install Compatible and safe to use with plastic piping and ‘push-fit’ style components

Low maintenance SolarisKit solar collectors will never heat water above 70oC making it a long lasting and low maintenance solution

The SolarisKit solar collector efficiently converts solar energy to heat water using a new prismatic design that offers several key benefits over current solar heating solutions available.

08

SUN ENTERS SOLAR PRISM The SolarisKit solar prisms are positioned where it is sunny (e.g., roof). The unique prismatic shape allows passive tracking of the sun

1.

ABSORPTION OF SUNLIGHT Solar radiation is absorbed by the SolarisKit solar collector absorber, increasing its temperature.

Internal aluminium reflectors direct sunlight onto absorber.

4.

COLD WATER IN Cold water is circulated through the solar collector using a small pump. As water travels through the absorber, it is heated via forced convection.

2.

HOT WATER OUT Carbon free hot water then exits from the collector via the outlet port fitting. Metric and imperial size fittings available to suit your needs.

SolarisKit is the ideal solar heating solution for

Households & commercial buildings

Glamping, Tiny Housing, & Off-Grid sites

Pools, hot tubs and SPA heating 09

SolarisKit is on a mission to unlock the vastly untapped potential of solar energy across the globe. With nearly 70% of Earth’s population living in the equatorial regions of the planet, solar energy is the ideal way to provide affordable, clean heat to billions of people.

SolarisKit has now shipped solar collectors to six continents and supported installations in Rwanda, Zambia, Kenya, Malawi, and Ghana. We are currently working with Strathmore University to establish East Africa’s first solar thermal centre of excellence, a training centre which will train solar hot water installers and the development of new solutions to increase energy access in the global south.
