Product catalog summary
Overview
The VirtuPVT Specification Sheet 2021 outlines the features and benefits of the VirtuPVT solar heat and power solution, which is designed to maximize energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It combines photovoltaic and thermal technologies to deliver significant CO2 savings and financial returns.

Key Features
  • High Efficiency: The system integrates heat and power, offering up to three times the savings compared to traditional PV systems. It decarbonizes both scope 1 (heat) and scope 2 (power) emissions.
  • Versatile Design: Suitable for flat or pitched roofs and vertical façades, the low-profile tubular design minimizes space wastage and shading. Integrated reflectors capture 40% more energy.
  • Financial Benefits: Provides up to 50% greater financial returns per square meter, reduces energy bills, and is eligible for government subsidies. A fully funded option is available.
  • Installation and Maintenance: The modular design allows for easy installation and maintenance, requiring only one installer. It includes remote monitoring and a warranty of up to 10 years.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The system offers a visually appealing representation of sustainable energy commitment.

Technical Specifications
  • Materials: Utilizes high-efficiency monocrystalline PERC cells, aluminum absorber plates, and borosilicate glass vacuum tubes.
  • Hydronic Operation: Features a flow rate range of 0.1-1 l/min, maximum pressure of 6 bar, and a fluid outlet temperature range of 10-80°C.
  • Dimensions: Single tube dimensions include a gross length of 2165 mm and a gross width of 300 mm. The system can be configured with manifolds on either side.
  • Performance: Offers peak thermal output of 275 W and electrical output of 74 W per tube. The system is designed to perform efficiently in various climates and roof types.

Applications
  • Suitable for buildings with high heat demand such as multi-dwelling residential, public buildings, manufacturing, food & beverage, new residential developments, and hospitality & leisure sectors.

Performance Data
  • Annual kWh values are calculated using industry-standard tools, considering actual roof area occupied by the array.
  • Performance is optimized for flat roofs, vertical façades, and low pitch roofs, with integrated reflectors and optimal tube spacing.
