We've got one to do in a couple of weeks, (only 10m2 tho) what specifically are the queries?

You may need to design sets of parallel and serial panels to meet the flow rate and temperature requirements, plus depends also where the pump station is what controls and 2 port valves may be needed plus usually at least one temperature sensor per parallel array, so controller will have to cope with multiple arrays. Plus what is it heating? DHW, Pool? THE RHI will have an affect on how it's plumbed if multiple uses..
