Designed for the UK climate, the Marvel panel has everything you could look for in a flat plate solar thermal panel. These are robust, hard wearing and high performance flat plate panels delivering excellent levels of efficiency, flexibility in installationand a sleek and subtle design of all components. The Marvel solar panel is a flat plate, aluminium cased, low iron tempered glass unit containing copper risers with copper plate, ‘tinox’ coated absorber, ultrasonically welded to give a full covering of copper within the unit.


The glazing is tested to BS 12975 hail test and is guaranteed under these extreme conditions. The glazing is EN572-5 / EN12150-1 certified. Units are sealed with EPDM materials which are UV durable. Glazing gaskets are one piece channel type to ensure weather proofing. These solar panels can be mounted either ‘in-roof’ or ‘on-roof’. ‘In-roof’ installation comprises the solar panel which is encased in a cassette unit that is mounted directly on to the roof battens. The solar panel/cassette unit is then tiled into the roof to give a weather tight installation maintaining the integrity of the roof – this type of installation normally takes place on new build properties. ‘On-roof’ installation, designed for fitting to existing properties, means that the solar panel is mounted on top of the existing roof tiles, on brackets that penetrate through the roof and are bolted to the rafters to ensure a secure fixing. (A variety of fixing brackets is available to suit all types of roof tiles including concrete, slate and clay peg).


Marvel flat plate panels are guaranteed for a period of 10 years of operational use and offer a straight forward solar thermal solution perfect for the needs of UK homes.
