The SolarCore™ Advantage
Freeze ProtectionStratco's Solarcore Solar Hot Water range is the perfect answer for all weather conditions. The complete Solarcore range is protected from damage during freezing weather conditions by automatically circulating water from the hot water storage tank. It is designed to operate to a minimum temperature of -20°c*.
Efficient CollectorsEvacuated glass collector tubes are so efficient that they can collect heat from sunlight during cool, windy or even overcast conditions. The Stratco Solarcore Solar Hot Water collectors are constructed from a combination of copper tubes and borosilicate 3.3 glass evacuated tubes to maximise solar performance, thereby, reducing the amount of gas or electricity required to heat the water. The Solarcore Solar Hot Water collector framing system is constructed from high quality aluminium. The specially constructed solar reflector ensures that maximum ambient heat is absorbed. The Stratco Solarcore Solar Hot Water collectors are the ideal answer for installation on the majority of Australian roofs due to their lightweight construction.
Hot Water 365 DaysDuring periods when there is insufficient heat available from the sun, the efficient gas boost heater or electric boost element will automatically provide all the heat necessary to ensure a continuous supply of hot water to your home. Insulated to reduce captured heat loss during the night and designed for narrow locations, the complete solar hot water storage range is the perfect solution and will complement your home.
Easy ReplacementThe Stratco Solarcore Solar Hot Water collectors have been rigorously tested to AS/NZS 2712:2007 standards. However, in the event that an evacuated glass collector is inadvertently damaged, the system will still continue to function normally. The evacuated glass tubes can be individually replaced without the need to turn off the main system, thus, minimising unnecessary plumbing costs.
Controlled Hot WaterThe Stratco indoor Solarcore Solar Hot Water electronic controller has been specifically designed to maximise and maintain your hot water all year round by regulating the water flow from the collector to the tank. Complete with a practical LCD display to show you the actual working temperatures, the Stratco Solarcore Solar Hot Water electronic controller will give you the peace of mind that your system is working at optimum levels.
