Solar Energy for a Brighter Future
Evacuated tube solar panel range
The Sun radiates enormous amounts of energy to the earth. As an example, the UK and Ireland receive on average per year, as much as 60% of that received on the equator. This radiation is similar to the output of 1,000 power stations.
Solar Thermal Vacuum Tube Systems
Solar thermal technology transforms direct and diffuse solar radiation into useful heat using a solar collector, which should face as closely as possible to the south at an angle perpendicular to the sun.

Kingspan - Thermomax Evacuated tube Solar panels
Each Thermomax collector consists of a highly insulated manifold and a row of tubes. The vacuum inside each tube provides perfect insulation, protecting the system from outside influences, such as cold and windy weather or high humidity. This vacuum insulation also ensures that the energy collected from the sun is very efficiently and effectively transferred into usable heat as there is minimal heat loss.
Benefits of a Thermomax System
With over 25 years of experience, the Thermomax brand is firmly established as a world leader in solar thermal products. Thermomax collectors are the premium product in the market, designed specifically for a Northern European climate.
A Positive Environmental Impact
Burning fossil fuels produces vast quantities of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming.
The average household with a Thermomax system installed can expect to generate approximately 2,256 kWh/year with zero emissions.
The diagram illustrates the amount of c02 produced by oil, gas and electricity to generate the equivalent 2,256 kWh.
High Performance Vacuum Tubes
Thermomax solar thermal tubes maintain a superior vacuum over a longer period of time through:
Choose between 3 collectors
At The Solar Panel People we have a range of grant approved solar panels for home use including evacuated tube systems from Nutherm and Kingspan Flat panel systems also. Before you choose your collector, you need to decide where it will be positioned on your house. Between the best and worst orientation, annual energy contribution can be nearly halved. To get the best effi ciency, the collector should be installed, facing due south at an angle of 30-40°.
Kingspan Solar’s Thermomax range consists of three evacuated tube collectors all suitable for domestic use: HP200, HP100 and DF100. The information below should help you decide which is the best for your home. For all Thermomax collectors, deviation from south can be compensated as individual tubes can be rotated up to 25°.
Heat Pipe Collectors
There are 2 products available in this premium range,
suitable for when the ideal installation position on the
building is achievable. Both heat pipe collectors have an
unique temperature limitation device.
HP200
Dry System - The recommended product for domestic
use, ideal for Northern European climates.
HP100
Wet System - Highly effi cient with rapid heat transfer due
to the heating fl uid passing across the condenser.
Direct Flow Collector
This versatile product provides the perfect solution when
the ideal position is not available.
DF100
Simple, easy to install and cost effective. DF100 can be
installed on façades or flat roofs, as seen in the diagram.
