Wimex Solar Panels

The manifolds can be adjusted in relation to the frame, even after the panel has been attached to the roof. This makes its very straight forward to join two panels together.

The panel frame can be adjusted to line up with the rafter underneath.

Outputs

A 30° roof angle is very common in the UK and Ireland and was chosen to give the most relevant results.

Likewise to compare like with like, the daily consumption was fixed at 250 litres of 45°C water per day. Changing the water consumption both in volume and profile can lead to large changes in system output which overwhelm other system parameters.
