Clean, Free and Reliable....Solar
With fuel costa rising and concerns abouth global warming then solar technology can save you money as well as the planet... and it is not as expensive to install as you may think.

The Lazer2 Solar System
The LaZer2 Panels work just like your existing heat source, except they are powered by free, clean solar energy rather than an expensive, dirty, carbon fuel. The LaZer2 Solar System is your primary heat source. Your boiler, stove or immersion heater will automatically raise the water temperature if required. Even when solar energy levels are low the LaZer2 system will add some heat to the water, so your existing heat source will do far less work. The system comprises of four main components: LaZer2 Solar Panels, TD3 Digital Controller, Circulation Module and a Hot Water Cylinder.

The Lazer2 Solar Panels
The 93% efficient LaZer2 vacuum tubes are ideal for cooler climates such as Britain’s, as they work as effectively when it is 0°C outside, as they do when it is 30°C. The LaZer2 vacuum tubes have a 25-year warranty, as there is no glass to metal seal that can fail. The panels incorporate horizontally mounted vacuum tubes with a curved collecting surface, automatically compensating for varying roof pitches and the change in the Sun’s angle throughout the year. Solar energy penetrates the glass and is absorbed by the specially selected coating on the collecting surface. Once absorbed the energy is trapped inside the tube by the vacuum. A unique aluminium insert transfers the trapped energy to the advanced internal manifold, which directly heats the water, minimising energy losses. A LaZer2 Panel will perform better throughout the year than systems with flat-plate collectors, vertically mounted vacuum tubes or ‘heat pipes’.

The TD3 Digital Controller
The TD3 Digital Controller is the digital heart of the system. It uses sensors to compare water in the panel with that in the cylinder. When the panel is 3°C warmer than the cylinder, the solar pump switches on and the water circulates through transferring heat to the cylinder. If the temperature difference is below 3°C the pump turns off to stop the water in the cylinder being cooled.

The TD3 incorporates SMARTlogic to allow the system to start heating the cylinder earlier SAFElogic prevents your system periods of low water usage. The controllers LCD Display will continually show three temperatures; water entering the panel and water in your cylinder. A ‘Solar Pump’ indicator illuminates when the pump is operating and your system is producing hot water. A ‘Tank Hot’ indicator illuminates when the water in the cylinder reaches the predefined temperature. The installation team will configure the TD3 Controller when fitting the system and will select the optimum settings for your system. Once this is done no further user input is required.

Installation and Maintenance
The LaZer2 Solar System is designed for easy installation, usually takes just a day to fit and planning permission is not normally required. The low-profile panels clip into a unique roof-mounting system that avoids roof leaks and keeps all pipe-work hidden from view. The Circulation Module will be fitted close to your hot water cylinder and will integrate seamlessly with your existing hot water system. The TD3 will be placed to allow you to monitor the system. The LaZer2 Solar System has been designed and manufactured in Britain to the highest of European standards (EN12975–1). Once installed no scheduled maintenance is required. The non-toxic anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitor will provide protection for the life of the system. The extra smooth glass will even clean itself.

Grants and Financial Help
The LaZer2 Solar System is designed and built by a fully accredited manufacturer and is UK Government approved. This means that you can claim a £400 grant when having a domestic system installed in England, Northern Ireland or Wales and up to 30% of the total cost if your property is located in Scotland.

As a further incentive a fully fitted UK LaZer2 Solar System is normally subject to only 5% VAT (standard rate 17.5%). There are 100% capital allowance schemes as well as interest free loans available for businesses. Communities installing a larger LaZer2 Solar System can claim grants of up to £50,000.
