Hybrid Thermal Solar Panel

Description

The HTS (Hybrid Thermal Solar) Panel transforms traditional HVAC systems by integrating solar-thermal energy into the refrigeration cycle. Compatible with high-efficiency air conditioners—with variable speed / multi-stage / inverter-based compressors—the HTS Panel functions as a compressor assistor, significantly reducing the compressor’s workload.

By harnessing the sun’s energy through parabolic mirrored concentrators, the panel energises (Increases heat and pressure both) the refrigerant after it exits the compressor. This reduces the need for mechanical compression in the next cycle, allowing the system to operate at lower RPMs, resulting in 25–40% energy savings, and up to 60% in optimal sunlight.

In addition to lowering power consumption, the system extends compressor life, reduces carbon emissions, and delivers consistent cooling performance. Compact, scalable, and eco-friendly, the HTS Panel is ideal for both industrial and commercial HVAC applications.

How It Works

The HTS Panel uses parabolic mirrored concentrators to capture and focus sunlight onto a copper pipe coated with specialized solar-absorption paint. This heats the refrigerant gas after it exits the compressor, reducing the load on the compressor for the next cycle.

An intelligent sun-tracking system ensures maximum thermal capture throughout the day:

• Photo-sensors track the sun’s movement from east to west.
• Once the target temperature is reached, the system modulates reflector angles to maintain optimum heat without overheating.
• A built-in Rite-Temp™ system controls temperature and prevents stagnation.

This hybrid solar-assist method enhances overall HVAC efficiency while significantly reducing electricity bills.
