The Ariston SOLARcomfort system has three main components: solar panels, pump station and solar controller.
In addition the system requires a hot water storage cylinder. Ariston supplies a stainless steel, twin coil unvented
cylinder (Primo Twin), giving a complete solar package from a single source.
The solar panels absorb the heat from the sunÆs rays and use this to heat the heat transfer medium (a mixture
of water and glycol). The fluid is circulated by a pump, the operation of which is controlled by the solar controller.
The heated fluid circulates around a heat exchanger in the hot water storage cylinder. The Ariston Primo Twin has
two heat exchangers (coils). The lower coil is heated by the solar circuit and the upper coil by an auxiliary heat source
(typically a gas, oil or electric system boiler).
Solar Comfort
Ariston is offering SOLARcomfort in a range of 4 distinct packages: æOn-tileÆ û 2 panel or 3 panel systems and
æFlat Roof/GroundÆ û 2 panel or 3 panel systems. Each system can be connected to an Ariston Primo Twin Coil
Cylinder (200l for 2 panels and 300l for 3 panels); giving a complete solution from a single source.
Solar Panels
The solar panels (collectors) can be mounted on either a sloping or flat roof or the ground.
The roof mounting system has been specifically designed for UK roofs.
The inherently flexible fixing kit is supplied as standard with the panels.
It removes the need to select and purchase additional roof fixings.
The flat roof/ground frame is easy to assemble and extremely rigid.
Whichever option is selected, you can be assured of a system which will
last for many, many years.
Solar Controller
The differential temperature solar controller is simple to install and operate, with pleasing aesthetics. It is the æbrainsÆ
of the system and ensures effective operation and control of the pump. The illuminated digital display shows the
current status of the system and the current temperatures in both the solar panels and the hot water store.
The householder can easily see how the system is operating and with an optional, additional sensor see how much
energy has been saved.
Pump Station
The pump station circulates the water/glycol fluid around the solar circuit. The pump will only operate when there
is sufficient heat in the panels to raise the temperature of the water in the cylinder. The pump will not operate
when the cylinder is at its preset temperature, or when to do so would result in the cylinder being cooled.
The compact design of the pump station allows it to be easily and quickly fitted in small spaces.
Primo Twin
The Primo Twin stainless steel, unvented cylinders are designed to
complement SOLARcomfort. The cylinders are unique to the UK in that
they have not only two coils but also two immersion heaters, making them
suitable for all types of auxiliary heating. The 200l cylinder and 2 panel
system is designed for 3-4 person households and the 300l and 3 panel
system is designed for larger households.
