STREAMLINE RCS SERIES

GROUND-MOUNTED DIRECT SPLIT SYSTEMS

Our RCS Series solar hot water system is exclusive to Solahart.

It features an open-circuit split-system solar hot water heater with roof mounted slimline collectors and a tank that be can be installed on the ground. This feature gives you more flexibility than a traditional roof-mounted solar hot water system when it comes to selecting the installation location.

The solar collectors are mounted on your roof and feature a low profile for a clean look. The tank can be mounted at ground level in a discreet, out-of-sight location.

We’ll help you select a suitable location as part of our free on-site solar assessment.

Choosing a split-system such as the RCS Series by Solahart allows you to maximise the potential savings by heating your hot water from the sun whilst also minimising the visual impact.
