Frequently asked questions

Q. DO SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS
CAUSE HARMFUL EMISSIONS?
A. Your ReGen Solar Hot Water System produces no emissions whatsoever. It is entirely without any discharge of greenhouse gases or other pollution.

Q. WILL THE SYSTEM WORK AT NIGHT?
A. No, the system only works in daylight. At some times of the year there is insufficient daylight and that is why your system has a fossil fuel back up that will cover your needs at these times.

Q. HOW MUCH CARBON DIOXIDE
DOES MY SYSTEM SAVE?
A. We estimate that your ReGen system will save half a tonne of carbon dioxide a year which is equivalent to about a large sack of soot each year. Over the life of the system each system will save dozens of tonnes.

Q. IT IS NOT VERY SUNNY TODAY,
WILL THE SYSTEM STILL WORK?
A. Although they work best in direct sunlight, very good performance will be given in the indirect light (or diffuse radiation) of a cloudy day.

Q. SHALL I SWITCH OFF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
WHEN I GO AWAY ON HOLIDAY?
A. No - it is better to keep it on.

Q. SHOULD I CLEAN THE PANELS IF THEY
GET DIRT ON THE COLLECTOR SURFACE?
A. There is no need to. It will not significantly impair performance and when it next rains they
will be washed off.
