Rapid and Simple Installation

Happy roofing contractors with their fitted solar panel

The simple plumbing requirements of the Viridian Solar installation

The Clearline solar panel is designed for the way you work.

No specialist installers are required. Your own roofing contractor installs the panel. Your plumbing contractor installs the internal components.

Viridian's patent-pending design means that no plumbing connections are made at the time the panel is fitted to the roof. The plumbing task and the roofing task are completely separated. Plumbers do not need to go on the roof. Roofers are not required to make plumbing connections.

The push-fit flashing design means that installation is super-quick. In trials on site, by the time the roofers were on their third panel it was installed and flashed ready for tiling in only 15 minutes.

All components in the fluid circuit are factory assembled into the Clearline Solar Controller, so the plumbing task is as simple as four runs of pipework. The controller can be wall-mounted near the cylinder.

Clarity of Responsibility

The conventional approach has a specialist solar installer clambering around over a finished roof, lifting tiles to attach brackets, and drilling holes for pipes to pass through. Who is responsible for the integrity of the roof?

Because Clearline separates roofing and plumbing, the roofing contractor can take responsibility for the integrity of the roof, while the plumbing contractor is responsible for the whole of the plumbing installation.

Retro-Fit

Many of the benefits of Clearline are carried through to the retro-fitting market, particularly if done at the same time as a roof refurbishment.
