4 FAQs about Solar support insulation material

What is solar energy insulation?

By avoiding thermal losses through the rear and the sides of the collector, solar energy insulation optimizes the efficiency of the collector, enabling the maximum amount of collected heat to be transferred to the circulating fluid. ISOVER has developed a unique range of products designed specifically for solar applications.

Why is solar energy insulation important?

Solar energy insulation helps save and concentrate heat energy. By avoiding thermal losses through the rear and the sides of the collector, solar energy insulation optimizes the efficiency of the collector, enabling the maximum amount of collected heat to be transferred to the circulating fluid.

What are insulation support materials?

Insulation support materials include mesh, mechanical fasteners, and wire and strapping. They are used in both horizontal and vertical applications to prevent gravity from pulling insulation out of place and help ensure the continued thermal performance of installed insulation.

Which insulation solutions are suitable for a single glazed collector?

From excellent thermal insulation to cost-efficiency in one solution, our U SOLAR insulation solutions based on ULTIMATE™ light stone wool, are suitable for flat single-glazed ventilated collectors, with standard or reflective glass, and working temperatures of up to 250°C.
