How it works
ReGen Thermal Solar System
- The ReGen Solar Thermal System is connected to your hot water storage tank.
- Cold water is pumped into the header pipe.
- The evacuated tubes convert UV rays into usable heat via the heat pipe.
- The header pipe heats the water which is then returned to your storage tank.
ReGen Photovoltaic Solar System
- PV (Photovoltaic) solar cells convert solar energy directly into electricity.
- PV cells are made up of two or more thin layers of semi-conducting material. When exposed to light electricity is generated.
- The electricity collected is in the form of a direct current (DC) which is stored in batteries.
- Homes however use alternating current (AC). The DC is changed by passing through an inverter before supplying the home.
- Any excess electricity collected can be sold back to the grid by using an export meter.
