The absorber surface must be selectively coated
To maximise efficiency of the panel, and to also protect it from the stress of heat and cold, the absorber surface (the glazed glass) should be specially coated. The coating should maximise efficiency, offer protection against the elements and also be environmentally friendly.
Genersys panels:
These are selectively coated (creating a series of microscopic ridges to present a greater surface area to the light) with Genersys’ own formula aluminium oxide coating, which is designed to produce only useful heat for the application rather than to produce all possible heat. This coating is 100% safe.
Other panels:
These are sometimes coated with black paint, which performs in hot direct sunshine conditions but not in cloudy light conditions or on cooler days. Some panels are selectively coated in black chrome. We at Genersys think this is an area of potential environmental danger as well as potential health risks. |
| |
|
 |
Genersys surfaces are engineered to optimise the amount of useful heat the panel can produce for its application, with an environmentally friendly material.
This helps produce heat when direct sunlight is not available (for example) and eliminates health risks associated with cheaper methods such as black chrome. |
