Product catalog summary
Overview: The Redring Sunstore Solar Systems are designed to provide up to 60% of an average family's annual domestic hot water needs using solar thermal collectors. These systems are specifically tailored for UK weather conditions, offering significant reductions in fuel bills and CO2 emissions.
Specifications: The solar collectors use advanced thermal vacuum technology with a selective coating to harness the full energy spectrum, functioning effectively even in overcast conditions. The system includes vacuum insulation to retain heat, similar to a vacuum flask. The collectors are adaptable for various installations, including pitched roofs, vertical walls, and high-rise buildings.
System Benefits: The Sunstore system integrates with all heating systems, requires no scheduled maintenance, and reduces CO2 emissions by at least 500kg/year. It provides free hot water for at least 25 years and is designed for easy installation, typically completed in a day without needing planning permission.
Installation and Integration: The system is flexible, suitable for different applications and heating systems. It includes a control system with digital temperature sensors to optimize energy use. The system can be integrated with existing cylinders or new solar-prepared cylinders, which are available in vented or un-vented models.
Compliance and Environmental Impact: The system helps meet the April 2006 Part L building regulations by reducing carbon emissions, often without requiring changes to building design. It supports compliance with European standards (EN12975–1).
Product Range and Accessories: The document lists various models and accessories, including solar accumulators, heat exchangers, and conversion kits for different installation needs. The systems are available in different sizes to match household requirements, with specific recommendations based on the number of occupants and existing cylinder sizes.
Technical Specifications: The collectors have a gross area of 1.35m², operate under a pressure of less than 4 bar, and have a design life of over 25 years. They are made from high-borosilicate glass and are tested to withstand hailstones up to 25mm in diameter.
Ordering and Support: Redring offers a design service to assist with system planning and provides a sales hotline for orders and technical support. A domestic survey form is available to help specify the appropriate system for individual needs.

Redring Sunstore Solar Systems The Range Solar Thermal collectors produce hot water directly from the sun. Even in the UK the Redring Sunstore Solar Collector is proven to provide up to 60% of an average family’s annual domestic hot water requirements for free. The Sunstore is designed in the UK specifically for UK weather conditions. The benefit to the householder in terms of reduced fuel bills is clear - especially with the continuing rise in gas prices. The benefit to the environment is also enormous; reductions in greenhouse gasses help to reduce the devastating impact of climate change. “Proven to provide up to 60% of an average family’s annual hot water requirements for free” The Redring Sunstore Solar thermal collectors utilize state of the art thermal vacuum technology to convert solar energy into hot water. The selective coating enables the use of the whole energy spectrum to generate heat and although it produces much greater energy in bright sunshine, hot water collection temperatures are still achieved in overcast conditions. In order to lock the energy in, the Redring Sunstore collectors use vacuum insulation technology to prevent the heat escaping from the tubes much like a vacuum flask. We have experience of installation in a variety of applications, from a traditional pitched roof, vertical wall mounted or even on top of a high-rise building. The Redring Sunstore Solar thermal collectors can be sized to provide larger quantities of hot water depending upon your requirements. Redring Sunstore can also provide a cost effective solution for DHW (Domestic Hot Water) in Social Housing applications. “Redring Sunstore reduces C02 emissions and helps ensure compliance with building regulations” The April 2006 revision to Part L of the building regulations requires that all buildings do not exceed a target carbon emission rate. This can be achieved by improving insulation, air-tightness or the construction method of any given building. However, in most situations simply installing a Redring Sunstore Solar thermal collector will provide sufficient carbon saving to achieve Part L compliance without any building design change. 6 www.redring.co.uk Sales Hotline: 08709 000420 Roof mounting kitOuter Glass0.05Pa VacuumAbsorberInner GlassHeat SinkWater flow Wall mounting kit Cross section of a Sunstore vacuum tube Sunstore kit

Where there is no existing cylinder or the existing cylinder will not be used, always match the cylinder size to the solar system as per the tables on page 11. When using an east / west facing location on a sloping roof, with an angle of less than 35 degrees, you should use the product selection for south facing locations. Angles greater than 35 degrees should use the east / west product selections. 3. Decide if you can use the existing cylinder in the property or would prefer to purchase a solar-prepared system cylinder. If the current cylinder is in good condition and is currently providing...
