Yes it will. We have installed all over Ireland, and systems have been proven to work in even the most harsh conditions.

No, just a regular one

No, but we advise them to be south facing, ideally with an inclination angle between 45 and 90 degrees. They can be fitted to any outside wall, roof or garden. They can be placed East or West facing also and will lose minimal efficiency in this manner
No, the panels only weigh 8KG each, and measure 2M x 80CM
No, they can’t
Virtually no maintenance is necessary. The magnesium anode must be checked annually however. This is a simple thing to do, LVP can advise on this.
Yes. In accordance with current legislation, it is provided with a circuit to rise the temperature up to 70 Degrees, which is manually activated and automatically disconnected

No, this is the only solar panel heating system that will provide you with 100% of your hot water. Also our cylinders come with a mini-emersion inside that can be turned on manually if needed. However if you would like to incorporate a back-up heating system there is a provision for a secondary heating coil in most of the systems we provide (call for specific information on tanks). If you decided that you wanted the secondary coil in the tank then we would advise you to put a manual leaver on the system and only use it if necessary.
The panel is black for efficiency as black absorbs heat more than any other colour. The aim is to get the panel to the highest temperature possible as this will in turn raise the temperature of the refrigerant to a higher temperature and make the system more efficient.
