Electric Boosting
An electric boosted water cylinder is supplied with a 3 6kW
electric boosting element as standard The thermostat is set
to 60°C If solar radiation is low, the electric boosting
element will activate to compensate for heat loss
Generally, the required heating time would occur overnight
during the off-peak Tariff If off-peak is not available, the
continuous Tariff will require a timer setting to be activated
early evening or overnight when solar radiation is at its
lowest

management systems ISO 9001, QS-9000 and ISO 14001 and Product Certification
Accreditation by JAS-ANZ also implies that companies approved by BSI Benchmark Certification is
recognised and accepted in each country where JAS-ANZ has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with other National Accreditation Board
The Institute for Thermodynamics and Thermal Engineering (ITW) has been working in thermal
solar energy since the early 1970s In 1993 the Research and Testing Centre for Thermal Solar
Systems (TZS) was established TZS is the largest testing centre for solar thermal components and
systems in Europe TZS has long standing established experience in testing the full spectrum of solar
thermal experience in testing the full spectrum of solar thermal products as well as in conducting
research and development projects with partners from research organisations and industry
