SOLARIZER is exposed to the elements round the clock. It is constructed to withstand this strain with minimal protective & preventive maintenance. It is designed to withstand temperatures up to 300°C. The Storage Tank is made of corrosion resistant stainless steel & the absorber is made of copper to ensure that the water remains uncontaminated.

SOLARIZER is made to last. Ultrasonic welding for the tube and fins, TIG welding for tank, heat resistant rubber beading for the collector glass and the toughened glass used, make SOLARIZER  leak proof and long lasting.

Selective Black Coating: A fully black coated system would absorb heat faster than ordinary metal, but it would also lose heat faster. SOLARIZER is selectively coated (by continuous electroplating of black chrome on copper) for maximum heat absorbtion and minimum heat loss. Absorbptivity (of heat radiation) is as much as 0.96, while Emissivity (heat loss by emission) is only 0.12.

The absorber has a layer of rock wool below the riser tubes and fins. The sides are packed with PUF.

The Stainless steel hot water tank has an insulation of 100mm PUF

The pipes carrying water to and from the storage tank can be a source of heat loss. In SOLARIZER this is prevented by incorporating most of  the pipe in the absorber itself which is well insulated. 

SOLARIZER will deliver adequate hot water for 300 - 330 days in a  year. It has been provided with a back-up electrical heater in the hot water storage tank for cloudy or rainy days when the water isn't hot enough and thus requires less electricity to heat. An Automatic Temperature Control is available as an option.
