TEKTON

SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY SPECIALISTS

Tekton have over 35 years experience in domestic gas and electrical heating and hot water systems along with an extensive knowledge of building construction and maintenance.

 

For a long time we have realised that renewable energy was the future and since 2004 have invested in training and testing of products to find the best available at reasonable prices.

 

In 2006 we launched our solar division with solar thermal energy as our key product, we now have added thermal stores and air source heat pumps to our portfolio.

 

We have built a reputation on good workmanship and the quality materials we use.

 

Solar thermal heating is primarily designed to heat your hot water along side your boiler (or other heat source), but can also be used to heat your home in conjunction with a thermal store.

 

There are two main types of solar panels, flat plate and evacuated tubes. Evacuated tubes are more efficient in the UK.

 

It is expected that solar power should provide 50-70% of your annual hot water needs and last about 25 years.

 

Our tubes can be individually replaced if damaged without replacing the whole system.

We offer both flat plate and evacuated tube solar collectors made by Viessmann.

Solar energy doesn’t cost you a thing

and it even works in our

latitudes. All you need is a solar

heating system with highly efficient

collectors and matching system

components, like Viessmann solar

heating systems. Such systems can

save 50 to 70% of the annual energy

requirement for DHW

heating in detached and two-family

homes. During the summer months,

from May until August, the solar

energy is sufficient to cover almost

all of the DHW requirement. In the

transitional months, solar energy

can best be utilised to preheat

the DHW, which can significantly

reduce oil or gas consumption.

 

For the environment

The future for the environment is

looking brighter, too, because 3/4

tonnes less carbon dioxide (CO2)

per detached house is produced

each year using this system.

As all Viessmann solar collectors

meet the requirements of the ”Blue

Angel” certificate of environmental

excellence, according to RAL UZ

73, things look better still. High

operational reliability and a long

service life are of equal importance,

and Vitosol collectors achieve this

thanks to corrosion resistant

materials, such as aluminium,

copper and stainless steel. The

results of the quality test at the

SPF Institute in Rapperswil,

Switzerland confirm the thermal

output of Viessmann solar

collectors remains high, over a

period exceeding 20 years.
