Welcome to the latest product launch from the Benfield ATT Group. Being keen on saving the environment and at the forefront for sustainable eco-homes we proudly present our trouble free affordable DIY solar heating systems.
Why have a solar panel kit heating system?
Simply install our system and you can enjoy big savings on residential hot water, warming swimming pools and under-floor heating. Heating water using sun energy saves significant fossil fuels and reduces ‘greenhouse’ gas emissions and could cut your water heating bills by up to 70%.
Our experienced solar-heating experts have ensured that all the panels are made from 100% recyclable materials and our panels come inclusive with a 10-year guarantee, and are accredited to the EN12975 standard and have been awarded the prestigious ‘Solar Key Mark’. All units are built in the UK at a BS EN ISO 9001-2000 factory, so you can be completely assured of their quality. In addition as the tubes are manufactured in the UK, our kit is lower in price than many imported excavated solar tubes panels and the less efficient flat-plate systems.

When fuel and electric prices rise in the future, so do your savings.

The Solar Panels explained
Each ‘solar collector’ unit consists of 12 tubes and weighs only 32kgs, and each tube weighs 2.2kgs. The mounting frame weighs just 6kgs.
Single system dimensions: - Length: 1650mm Width: 1400mm depth 150mm.
These solar heating kits can be mounted vertically or horizontally, flat and even wall mounted. The panels solve many of the problems relating to installations where the house does not face south.
Because the tubes are mounted in a sturdy lightweight frame, each solar tube can be rotated through 90º to take best advantage of the sun.
The system pump can be powered by sunlight using PV panels with a 12-volt system or a standard mains water pump.
Our expert engineers are always on hand to advise the best approach. The system is rated at 1 bar, making it ideal for integrating into most domestic systems.
The support frame solar heating system comes in six basic colours, (including a chrome metal finish), to match slate or tiled roofs. This allows the system to blend unobtrusively into the roof. After a snowfall when the sun is shining, the unique design of this solar heating system allows snow to fall through the frame onto the roof leaving the system fully functional.
The evacuated tubes are unaffected by ambient temperature with an operating range in normal condition up to 65ºC+. Special installations up to 95ºC. They are freeze protected to -20ºC with 25% food grade glycol.
Tubes are spaced on 110mm centres preventing shadows from the adjacent tubes and increasing overall solar energy collection plus the added functionality of rotating the tubes to align with the sun. Even when the tubes are flat mounted the tube alignment ensures maximum energy collection. This is another reason why these solar heating systems are probably the most versatile systems available on the market today.

Why use our system?
- Can be mounted vertically or horizontally
- Individual tubes can be rotated to maximise sun collection
- Manufactured in the UK
- Panels should pay for themselves within five years
- Great investment
- Photovoltaic panels - high efficiency
- Made from 100% recycled materials
- Little on maintenance required

With your hot water energy bills reduced by up to 70% depending on your location and sun energy, the panels should pay for themselves within five years, excluding installation*.
Typically flat-panel systems deliver 50% to 60% savings on hot water, while an evacuated-tubes system like this system can save massive 60% to 70%.
Easy Installation
The tubes can be individually rotated for maximum energy collection; flat roof installations may require a mounting frame. The Solarwarm UK system includes the solar collector, pump, header tank and photovoltaic panel to power the controller or the whole system. Water passes through our unique heat exchanger on the hot water tank and can be plumbed into any system, given suitable access.
Should there be a parts failure after installation, these can be replaced quickly and simply by the installer. Example: should a tube fail or for some reason break, a single tube can be changed within 15 minutes, not including reaching the system on a roof. Please note that this is extremely unlikely as the product passed the arduous EN 12975 accreditation tests.
