CA SolarWall® Transpired Commercial Solar Collector & Heating System

CA SolarWall® unglazed Transpired Solar Collector system (uTSC) is a highly efficient solar air heating system that harnesses the sun’s energy to heat fresh, outdoor air for industrial, logistics, manufacturing and other commercial buildings. Installed as an ‘additional skin’ to a building’s southerly facing façade, the CA SolarWall® transpired solar collector consists of either a pre-coated steel external profile, or flat aluminium rainscreen panel, which is perforated with thousands of tiny holes uniformly spaced across the full face of the collector.

Our Products

As solar radiation is absorbed by the CA SolarWall®, its outer surface is warmed and this solar heat conducts to the thermal boundary layer that lines the outer surface of the collector. This heated boundary layer of air is then drawn through the perforations into a specifically designed air cavity that is created between the CA SolarWall® collector and the original elevation behind. From here, the fresh, solar heated air can then be introduced directly into the building as ventilation air, or ducted directly into the buildings HVAC system, where it can be used as a pre-heater for the main heating system.

CA SolarWall® Transpired Solar Collection Capabilities

Each CA SolarWall® unglazed Transpired Solar Collector system (uTSC) is specifically engineered to suit its intended application and can be designed to integrate seamlessly within the building design, or incorporated as a feature to stand out from the façade and promote the use of renewable technologies. Over the past 30 years, the performance of the CA SolarWall® transpired solar technology has been extensively tested and refined at the National Solar Test Facility (NSTF) in North America, with the technology Solar ‘A’ Mark certified for quality assurance by the Solar Air Heating World Industries Association (SAHWIA).
