Solar Fluid Heater and Applications for the same
FEATURED ON
Solar hot water, and much more.
Patented infra-red reflection technology covering applications of recyclable construction surfaces allows for a unique building decarbonisation solution with multiple environmental benefits & financial paybacks.
Because of this PlexiSun™ can not only provide large quantities of solar hot water, it also deflects the sun's harmful rays for safe natural daylighting into the building interior, provides internal cooling, and reduces lighting and air conditioning costs - multiple paybacks built-in, not bolted-on.
PlexiSun doesn't bolt onto the roof, it is the roof.
MULTIPLE COLOR OPTIONS
Designed and developed to provide a contemporary alternative to traditional bolt-on solar water heaters, PlexiSun™ has been laboratory tested and proven in real world conditions.
As a modular and scalable roof panel system complete with weather seals, a patented easy install mounting system, non-intrusive water maintenance ports, and the provision for heating filament options depending on budget and end user requirements, PlexiSun™ is a good looking, practical solution, for architects and building developers.
Solar powered beer.
For 5 years the PlexiSun™ test site roof at the Ballistic Beer Company in Brisbane Australia has been pumping large volumes of solar hot water to brew award winning beers, reducing lighting costs in a previously dark part of the brewery, and lowering the temperature inside the brewery. The 560sqft (52sqm) roof angle is around 27 degrees off the ideal angle for the location, has stainless steel heating filaments, has reached up to 230F (110C), and in a full calendar year has generated 135,689Btu per sqft/pa (428.06kWh per sqm/pa).
Applications for all categories
LOW & HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
COMMERCIAL NEW BUILD & RETROFIT
CAMPGROUNDS & PUBLIC AMMENITIES
WAVE POOLS & ECOTOURISM
MILITARY, DISASTER & HUMANITARIAN
FOOD PRODUCTION & INDUSTRY
PlexiSun™ has applications from residential to commercial, from temporary housing for mining and military/defense camps, to quick response disaster rebuilds and humanitarian aide. For sunbelt zone regions with large populations, PlexiSun™ is a product that targets community infrastructure shortfalls and the high cost of water heating for medical services and industries critical to the local economy, There are options for the weather facing surfaces in regions prone to conditions such as hail and snow loading.
Solar heat and PV for off-grid stability
As the world attempts to "electrify everything", there simply must be enough electricity to do so.
The obvious place to save electricity is heating, which is not only a leading user of carbon emitting, fossil fuel generated energy, it is also the most inefficient use of electricity.
By incorporating PlexiSun™ on site heat generation and storage with PV onsite generation and storage, the reduction in the electricity load means more electricity can be battery stored for EV charging and HVAC etc. When managed by microgrid technologies, buildings become more energy efficient and less reliant on grid supplied energy.
Constructed from established, recyclable, building materials
PlexiSun™ was designed using longlife recyclable materials to provide a modern alternative to traditional bolt-on solar water heaters, and has been laboratory tested and proven in real world environments.
Engineered from feedback including from Pacific Island communities and mainland USA industry experts and architects, all materials are recyclable, long-life, and established construction grade, proven in all climate conditions. The system includes flashings, easy install mounting brackets, non-intrusive water maintenance ports, and the provision for heating filament options depending on budget and end user requirements. PlexiSun™ connects to standard solar hot water storage and management systems.
