SolarStore by Industrial Design Consultancy
Industrial Design Consultancy announces its latest product development; an inflatable solar collector called SolarStore.
The SolarStore could provide a cheap source of domestic hot water; with an initial cost of under £100 per product, trial data has shown that the system will pay for itself in only 6 months.This compares extremely favorably to conventional domestic solar hot water systems, which cost in the region of £2000-3000 and have payback times of around 10-20 years.
Although the SolarStore is inflatable, the structure of the system is strong and robust and it is anchored down by the weight of 30 liters of water. It is manufactured from a heavy-duty polymer that is designed to protect against dirt and rain. SolarStore is an eco-friendly solution, which saves nearly 0.2 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
