Details of Material Thickness and specifications: The housing is a
single piece jointless unit moulded from FRP having 2-3mm thickness.
FRP body collector housing is all weatherproof, light weight, very
strong, extremely durable, self insulating, bad conductor of heat and so
increases the efficiency of collector up to 20% by not allowing the
energy gained to escape out. It is colorful, streamlined and elegant in
appearance and it does not require periodic painting or maintenance.
Tested by
CIPET(Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology), FRP body
of our collector shows a tensile strength in excess of 800, plus
extremely good resistance to acids and alkalies, making it the ideal
"body". For good measure we also had a ten year old FRP body of our
collector tested at CIPETand the tests showed no deterioration in its
physical properties proving beyond any doubt that FRP(fibre reinforced
plastic) is yet the best material for the outer shell of the collector.
