Connection of a pressurised solar panel system
If the building conditions do not allow installation of the solar panels above the storage container, or if the connection pipe cannot
be installed with a continuous gradient between solar panel array and storage container, the non-pressurised Solaris system
cannot be used. A conventional pressurised solar panel system operated with antifreeze can be integrated in a ROTEX heating
system with a Solaris Sanicube or the Gas Solar Unit as follows:
• Integrate the pressurised solar panel system by means of an external plate heat exchanger (Fig. 7-10).
• Connect the pressurised solar panel system to the primary circuit.
• Connect the secondary circuit via the control and pump unit, and operate it without pressure.
• As no great heights are involved in this case, the booster pump P2 can be removed from the RPS3, and used as a solar
circulation pump. For this, the booster pump must be connected in parallel with the circulation pump P1.
• Operate the solar system with the Solaris control unit. For this, a solar panel temperature sensor with a Pt 1000 element is
required (can be ordered optional).
Series connection
As an alternative to the purely parallel solar panel installation described in this manual (also see Fig. 2-1), maximum 3 rows of
solar panels can also be mounted above each other. With such an arrangement, the solar panels or solar panel arrays must be
connected in series (Fig.7-12). One set of series connectors CONRV ( 16 42 17) is required per additional row of solar panels
for the selected solar system.
