Re: Solar panel
Hi, Solar is mainly used in this county to heat domestic hot water (DHW) and most systems are supplied with most fittings because of the very, very high temperatures that can be created within a solar panel, after all the sun is the most powerful heat source in the universe. It is not recommended to use soft soldered joints because of this reason! If soft solder is used before the exchange coil there is a chance of the joint sweeting and becoming compromised or detached. But most systems are kit based so you should not have this problem! Nearly all kits are supplied with annealed pipe and not just because its easy to work with but because of 'linear expansion of materials' and the fact that most plumbers prefer not to work with low carbon steel pipe (LCS) in a domestic setting.
