High-Efficiency Solar
Thermal Collectors
Harnessing the sun:
converting solar irradiation
to clean heat
Solar thermal collectors generate heat from the sun at high efficiency. They are a pivotal component in the generation of environmental, emission-free thermal energy. Most solar thermal collectors are suitable for shower hot water, targeting low temperature, residential uses, in the sun-belt. TIGI’s collectors are different.
TIGI’s Honeycomb Collector
TIGI makes an advanced new breed of flat plate solar thermal collector – the Honeycomb Collector. Using proprietary transparent insulation technology, our collector minimizes losses and generates more heat, for the least cost of ALL solar thermal and other heat solutions!
TIGI’s Honeycomb Collector Features
Technology – transparent insulation allows solar radiation in, blocks losses
Performance – most year round heat of ALL flat and vacuum collectors per m²
Target market – industrial process heat where higher temperatures are needed
Longevity – collector-level overheating prevention and sealed case design
Low maintenance - avoiding glycol cracking temperatures
Winner of multiple industry awards including the intersolar award
Certification - Solar Keymark and SRCC field proven
Patent protected
The Challenge that Solar
Thermal Collectors Face
When solar thermal collectors work at high temperature-differential from the ambient, they lose energy to the environment, resulting in reduced performance.
Most losses of flat collectors occur where they have no thermal insulation – on the side facing the sun. TIGI solved this problem using transparent insulation.
The principle of using transparent insulation:
Sunlight passes through the TI, heating the absorber
The TI layer suppresses convection and back radiation heat losses
The result is more heat, higher temperature, in all climate conditions
Our collector stands out for its:
Proprietary transparent insulation on the sun-facing side minimizes losses, improves efficiency.
Overheating protection at the collector level-guards the collector and system from overheating
World’s only hermetically sealed case flat collector eliminates accumulation of humidity and dust inside the collector
The result:
High efficiency, more heat per m2 of any flat or vacuum solar thermal collector in the target temperature range
Great fit for high target temperature used in industry and for cold climate conditions
Patented technology provides for longevitiy and low maintenance
Reaching lowest cost per kWh, minimizing emissions
