Case Study 2: Gledhill thermal store linked to three SCHOTT solar collectors

Mr Kim's installation was again fairly straight forward with the only concern being a brand new slate roof.

Mr Kim had already installed a 210 L Gledhill solar thermal store with the only problem that the connections for the solar array were towards the rear of the tank leaving very little room for the associated pipe work. With a little ingenuity we were able to accommodate the fittings.

As SCHOTT recommends three solar collectors for a 210 L cylinder this is what was fitted. Because of the new slate roof we had to be very careful in fitting the collectors as slate tiles are very fragile. In the end we broke three tiles and these were replaced.
