Solar Box Unit

Versatile Solution

Fits Where Others Won't

The Solar Box Unit is designed for flexibility. It functions like our standard Eco and Eco Top units but separates the thermodynamic components from the cylinder. This makes it the ideal choice when:

You need a triple coil cylinder (oil, solid fuel, and solar).
Your hot press doesn't have enough vertical space for the all-in-one Eco units.
You already have a solar cylinder and want to retrofit our system.

System Configuration

How It Works

The Solar Box utilizes a circulation pump to transfer heat from the thermodynamic panel to your water cylinder. It is compact, powerful, and adaptable.

Panel Requirements

1 Panel for cylinders up to 300 Litres.

2 Panels for cylinders between 300 - 500 Litres.

Space Required

The unit is incredibly compact.

Minimum 420mm cubic space required in your hot press. Can also be located in the attic.

Running Costs

Uses a small circulation pump. While it consumes slightly more electricity than the Eco unit, the bill savings remain huge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Solar Box Unit and how does it work?

The Solar Box Unit is a thermodynamic hot water system that separates the heat-exchanging components from the cylinder itself. A circulation pump transfers heat captured by the roof panel into your existing or chosen cylinder, giving you the same 100% hot water guarantee as LVP's all-in-one units, just in a more flexible format.

How is the Solar Box Unit different from the Eco Unit?

While the Eco Unit combines the cylinder and thermodynamic components into a single all-in-one tank, the Solar Box Unit keeps these elements separate. This makes it the better choice for homes needing a specialist cylinder setup, such as a triple coil tank for oil, solid fuel, and solar, or for retrofitting onto a cylinder you already own.

How much space does a Solar Box Unit need in my home?

The Solar Box Unit is extremely compact, needing only a minimum of 420mm cubic space in your hot press. If your hot press is too tight even for that, the unit can also be located in the attic instead, making it one of the most flexible options available.

Can the Solar Box Unit work with a triple coil cylinder?

Yes. The Solar Box Unit is specifically designed to support triple coil cylinders, which combine oil, solid fuel, and solar heating sources in one tank, making it the practical choice for homes that want to keep multiple heating sources alongside thermodynamic solar.

How many panels does a Solar Box Unit require?

A Solar Box Unit needs just one roof panel for cylinders up to 300 litres, or two panels for cylinders between 300 and 500 litres. Your installer will confirm the right configuration based on your household's hot water demand.

Is the Solar Box Unit suitable for homes with limited hot press space?

Yes, this is exactly what it's designed for. Where an all-in-one unit won't physically fit due to limited vertical space, the Solar Box Unit's separated components, plus the option to locate it in the attic, make it the practical solution for tighter Irish homes.
