Q. Will the solar collector be a fire hazard during hot, dry weather? |
A. No. The collector’s components are all high temperature rated and non-flammable so even during strong sunlight with the circulation pump turned off (stagnation), the system will not catch alight or give off any sparks. The majority of the solar collector’s components are stainless steel, aluminium, glass or glass wool. The insulation material used to insulate the outer piping should be rated to at least 250 degrees c if the system is likely to stagnate during strong sunlight.
All components are accredited products under the clear skies/BRE solar accredition scheme.
