Is maintenance and clean-up expensive?
There are no clean-up costs, and maintenance is simple! Since only the tips of the Solarise heat pipes come in contact with water, limescale build up is not an issue, and does not affect system efficiency. No clean-up costs, therefore, are required as opposed to conventional solar panels that require a professional to perform maintenance and clean-up, otherwise suffer significant decreases in performance as the inner copper pipes become clogged up. Solarise heat exchanger manifolds are designed to collect any limescale buildup or residues at the bottom of the heat exchanger tank. Performance is not affected and a simple flush of the manifold/tank is sufficient in clearing out the system (recommended every 3-5 years). The system flush can be easily done with a twist of the innovative flush-valve– no professionals needed. Natural rainfall generally keeps the vacuum tubes clean and in top performing condition, but in particularly dusty areas, a periodic wipe-down may help in keeping the v
