40+ years of solar products and service - now available to order online!
Solcan is proud to be one of the earliest providers of solar energy solutions for residential and commercial properties across Canada.
MADE IN CANADA
Engineered through the decades, the solcan™ 2101 flat-plate solar thermal collector is the evolutionary successor to our earlier models which utilize copper fins with integral copper tubes that run between copper manifolds or headers. The copper fins have a black selective coating with an absorptivity for solar radiation of 0.95, and an emissivity for infrared radiation of 0.05.
Our black selective surface is more reliable and withstands higher temperatures and humidity than other designs. The collector frame is brake-formed aluminum sheet insulated with isocyanurate foam board. The glazing is 3mm low-iron tempered glass (4mm is available) and adheres to the collector frame with black silicone sealant.
Our solcan™ flat-plate solar thermal collectors offer a quality renewable alternative for residential, commercial, and/or industrial hot water applications.
Thermal Performance: The collector was tested as part of an SRCC test at the National Solar Test Facility in Mississauga, Ontario.
The first order equation for efficiency is:
0.767—3.33(TI-Ta)/I for 0.046 kg/s
Stagnation temperature:191°C.
Recommend flow rate: 1.5L/min
Weight is 50kg
The bottom line is...we know what we do, and we love doing it! We've been in the solar industry for decades, and are constantly adapting and integrating new technologies into our design and monitoring processes. Being around for this long means we've had the opportunity to cultivate relationships with industry professionals and green energy advocates across Canada, as well as maintain loyal relationships with our quality suppliers.
Shopping solcan™ means our decades of experience are behind you. It means our benefits get paid forward to our customers. And it means that you're supporting a Canadian owned and operated business dedicated to the transition to renewable energy and the technology needed to achieve it.
We have gained at least 8° on our average pool temperature, and our swimming season has been extended by almost 8 weeks. If you are thinking of solar, I couldn't recommend Solcan more!
What a fabulous company to have purchased our solar panels from...We couldn't be happier with our solar panels...they make the pool much warmer and enjoyable!
