High performance flat-plate collector with ThermProtect switching absorber layer
High performance Vitosol 100-FM flat-plate collectors are the perfect addition to any heating system. With an individual absorber area of 2.3 m², solar collectors can be effectively matched to any energy demand. On average, they can replace up to 60 percent of the energy that would otherwise be required each year for DHW heating, and contribute to central heating backup. When used in conjunction with a condensing boiler, free solar energy can help you reduce your annual energy consumption for heating and DHW by over one third.
ThermProtect is an “intelligent absorber layer”
It prevents overheating automatically when temperature rises
Flexible corrugated connection pipes
Push-fit connectors for system integration
Designed to accommodate collector temperature sensors within a dedicated sensor well, enabling accurate monitoring and control.
Designed to operate with Vitosolic solar controllers, enabling automatic control of solar loops, temperature differentials, and pump operation within the system.

ThermProtect is a patented absorber coating that:
Automatically reduces heat absorption at high temperatures
Prevents overheating and steam formation
Improves system safety and reliability
When the collector reaches around 75°C, the absorber structure changes to increase heat emission, lowering the collector temperature. When it cools down, it returns to normal high-efficiency operation.
Yes. Up to 12 collectors can be linked in parallel for larger residential or commercial systems.
