Overview: The NIBE Solar 1145/VPAS FP215 P/PL is a premium solar package designed for integration with the NIBE F1145 heat pump and VPAS tank. It offers both vertical (P) and horizontal (PL) panel mounting options, providing flexibility in installation.

System Components: The package includes a solar pump station with a low-energy pump, de-aerator, thermometers, adjusting valve, safety valve, pressure gauge, isolating valves, and double check valves. A solar expansion vessel and a wall bracket with a two-way check valve are also included for easy servicing.

Performance and Functionality: The system is designed to optimize performance by using solar energy preferentially for both hot tap water and domestic heating, with the heat pump as a backup. It features a built-in "buffer-tank" function to smooth out heat pump cycles and allows for the installation of an oversized heat pump if desired.

Technical Specifications: The FP215 P/PL solar panels have dimensions of 2088 x 1030 x 81 mm, a gross area of 2.15 m², and an aperture area of 1.91 m². They are equipped with low-iron, tempered solar safety glass and a serpentine pipe absorber with a blue highly selective coating. The panels have an optical efficiency of 80.6% (P) and 82.3% (PL), with top and bottom insulation of 20 mm.

Installation and Accessories: The package includes main solar components such as the NIBE Solar pump station (SPS10) and Solar control adaptor (Solar 40). Recommended accessories, not included, are roof fixing details, preinsulated flexible solar pipes, and a roof penetration unit.

Package Options: Various package options are available, including configurations for 3 to 5 panels, tailored to the number of users (2-3 persons = 3 panels, 3-5 persons = 4-5 panels).

Conclusion: The NIBE Solar 1145/VPAS FP215 P/PL system offers a comprehensive solution for harnessing solar energy efficiently, providing long-term benefits and energy savings.
