Schüco International Photovoltaic Panels Photovoltaic Solar Panels Solar Thermal Collectors
Schüco is a leading designer and manufacturer of renewable energy systems in the form of photovoltaic (Solar PV) and solar thermal (hot water generation) panels. Schüco renewable energy systems can be fully integrated with the building with the building envelope. They are fully compatible with Schüco façade and fenestration systems and are available in a choice of designs, meeting the highest standards.

Introduction - Photovoltaic Solar Panels

Schüco offers expert solutions for all types of building construction and façade envelopes. Schüco’s state of the art products are distinguished by their modern appearance and fulfill the highest standards of thermal and energy efficiency. By choosing Schüco, all partners will benefit from its wide ranging building envelope expertise.

SchücoSol Solar Thermal Collectors

Applications - SchücoSol panels may be mounted horizontally or vertically on or in to a building façade or roof. Designs can provide weather protection as well as a source of hot water production, which can be used directly or as pre-heated water for use in domestic hot water systems, swimming pools, offices, hotels and hospitals.

Description - Solar fluid is circulated through SchücoSol thermal collectors via the purpose-designed meander or serpentine principal, picking up radiated energy from the sun. This energy is then collected for use. Each panel is protected with low iron solar glass encased in slender aluminium frames and contains a high level of thermal insulation. Panels have a sun selective absorber coating which maximizes energy collection and minimizes heat losses.

Dimensions - SchücoSol collectors are available in standard, premium and bespoke sizes dependent on application.

Appearance - The collector surface is coloured blue. The aluminium frames can be finished in a choice of anodised finishes or RAL colours.

Performance

Weather - SchücoSol collectors are constructed to protect against the weather. The solar fluid is frost resistant down to -24°C.

Liquids - The system uses a harmless heat carrying solar fluid.

Biological - The panel helps protect against the build-up of various algae and moss growths on the main collector surface.

Heat - A typical SchücoSol collector will give an output of 2kW.

Durability - Panels should be operating for 20 years plus.

Photovoltaic Panels

Applications - Photovoltaic panels (arrays) can be used in all types of building application, whether as stand-alone arrays mounted on roofs, walls or canopies, or installed as whole roof, skylight or aluminium façade panels.

Description - Each panel contains high performance, polycrystalline or monocrystalline solar cells that convert the sun’s light to DC electricity. This is then converted to AC electricity via inverters and fed into the building’s electricity supply or, if in surplus, sold to the electricity supplier. PV light modules incorporate a lightweight aluminium frame to aid installation and protect the module edges.

The PV panels can also be used as part of the building envelope, giving solar shading protection. They can afford attractive shading effects when used in conjunction with a Schüco skylight or façade system. Solar PV panels can be supplied as standard PV modules, secured to Schüco designed mounting systems, or as bespoke glass/glass laminates, which can be produced either single or double-glazed insulated units.

Dimensions - PV light modules and glass/glass laminate modules are supplied in a number of sizes. Bespoke glass/glass laminates provide architecturally designed opportunities as modules are manufactured to size and specification for each individual project.

Appearance - The colour of the panel body is a mottled blue/black. Aluminium frames for the Schüco Premium range can be supplied in various stock and bespoke finishes (RAL colours).

Performance

Weather - All panels are weather resistant when installed with Schüco support systems.

Biological - PV panels resist algae and moss growth when installed at optimum angles of inclination, but can be easily cleaned if required.

Pollution - Panels and panel performance are unaffected by general atmospheric pollution.

Light - PV panels are UV resistant.

Electrical - Electrical output of a Schüco PV panel varies from 130-320 wp for standard PV modules. Output of bespoke glass/glass laminate is dependent on design and cell density

Durability - Performance output is expected to be for at least 20 years.

Operation & Maintenance

In general, PV and solar thermal systems are self-monitoring and operate
automatically.

Maintenance - General maintenance regimes are on a project basis to integrate with other cyclic maintenance schedules operating within the building.

Cleaning - SchücoSol panels can be cleaned in the same way as standard building glazing.

Economics

Guarantees - All products have product specific performance and quality guarantees.

Supply & Services

Schüco products are supplied via a network of fully trained installing partners. Technical support is available through the Schüco Renewables Division based in Milton Keynes or through one of Schüco’s highly trained Architectural Project Managers.
