X-Sol 100 – Resistant and low-cost solar water heater using special plastic materials.
Developed in 2010 in Germany, Simply Solar provides a solution to Affordable & clean energy, Sustainable cities & communities, – in line with sustainable development goals for the future.
- Modular: easily customizable from 100-500 liters over the integrated cold and hot water rail. The supply can be adapted to the actual demand and the financial possibilities.
- Long lifetime: use of high quality plastics means corrosion is no longer an issue, even with salty or brackish water.
- Freezing tolerant: no need for anti-freezing agents – proven through hundreds of installations on the Argentinian Altiplano.
- Highly compact and easy to transport – the whole system comes assembled in one casing. Easy to install even without a plumber; requires cold water and hot water connection only.
- Low stagnation temperature (98°C): even if not used for long periods. as the system hardly reaches boiling point, material stress is reduced, and evaporation of drinking water and scaling is avoided.
- Efficient – in the common temperature range of up to 50°C the system can compete with standard Chinese evacuated tube systems.
- 80% reduced fuel demand for water heating, saving 120-140 USD annually (Argentina).
- Solution pays for itself in 3-4 years, and allows for 3000 USD in savings over its 25-year lifespan.
