Flat thermal solar collector SOLINK

PVT COLLECTOR SOLINK SOLINK is a new generation of hybrid solar panels specially designed for working with brine heat pumps. Electricity and heat are generated simultaneously by combining photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal (T) technology. The heat exchanger on the collector’s underside complements the solar thermal heat generation with energy from the surrounding air and provides a reliable heat source to the heat pump even at night. In this way, SOLINK enables the typically high efficiency of brine heat pumps without the need for earthworks or probes. In addition, this brings the advantages of silent operation and flexible installation on roofs or facades. These qualities make the SOLINK collector exceptionally attractive as an energy source. Due to the high efficiency heat exchangers, it is not necessary to couple the collectors with geothermal probes or other in-ground heat sources. This results in climate-friendly heating systems with low operating costs, which generate the equivalent of their own electricity consumption over the course of the year. DOUBLE USE OF THE ROOF SPACE AND 10 TIMES THE HEAT EXCHANGER SURFACE AREA The area of the roof can usually be used only once for electrcity or heat production. With SOLINK, on ​​the underside of the XL 2 m² PV module, a special air heat exchanger with a surface area of ​​20 m² ensures high power production and simultaneous utilization of the module waste heat. This means that the entire heat requirement is directly covered and the total annual electricity demand is produced. The large surface area heat exchanger makes this possible on a much smaller roof area compared to other PVT collectors.
