The History of Solar Heaters:

 
 
 
1953
The pioneer in solar systems was born as a seperately mounted copper tank for roof or ground installation.
Capasity: 180L. Collector Size: 1 X 2.6m²
Solar Contribution: 55%
  1960
A redifined and re-designed unit with a conventional vertical copper tank for roof mounting.
Capasity: 180L or 220L Collector Size: 1 X 2.6m²
Solar Contribution: 55%
     
     
 
1962
The company experimented with a floor mounted copper tank connected with pump and thermostat control to collectors on
the roof.
Capasity: 180L. Collector Size: 1 X 2.6m²
Solar Contribution: 55%
  1963
The first export model. Copper tank with pump and thermostat for seperate mounting on a flat roof.
Capasity: 180L. Collector Size: 1 X 2.6m²
Solar Contribution: 55%
     
     
 
1964
The first signs of Solahart as we know it today. Featured a roof-mounted horizontal Cusilman Bronze tank specifically designed for the solar age.
Capasity: 180L. Collector Size: 1 X 2.8m²
Solar Contribution: 60%
9% increased efficiency from 1953
  1968
An improved roof-mounted system with all parts combined in one unit on a common chassis.
Capasity: 180L. Collector Size: 1 X 2.8m²
Solar Contribution: 65%
18% increased efficiency from 1953
     
     
 
1970
Another step towards perfection with a larger
Cusilmans Bronze tank.
Capasity: 180L. Collector Size: 1 X 2.8m²
Solar Contribution: 65%
  1971
Further successful efforts to improve the system.
