Sun Lizard Solar Climate Control Systems -- Overview
The Sun Lizard Solar Climate Control Systems is a unique way
of heating and cooling your building. It uses solar energy, natural
air movements, and heating and cooling dynamics to harmoniously
moderate the comfort of your home or building. It can be retrofitted
into existing building or installed on buildings under construction.
To extract the most value from the Sun
Lizard, buildings should
be energy efficient, and have reasonable insulation and thermal
mass. Suitable buildings will be noticeably
warmer in winter and cooler in summer under weather conditions
varying from moderately cloudy to full levels of sunlight.
In heating mode the system operates only when there is sufficient
sunlight to convert it into heat energy. It uses the building as
a thermal heat bank to store the generated heat so the need for
additional heating to maintain a comfortable internal temperature
during periods of heavy cloud or after sunset is minimised.
In cooling mode, the system works both day and night to extract
the hot air out of the building. A mains powered plug pack is included
with each system to continue extracting hot air after sunset when
solar energy is unavailable. An electrician is not needed if a
conveniently located power point is available.
Available Systems
The Sun Lizard Solar Climate Control System is available in two
sizes:
Solar Climate Control (Single Collectors with all
components)
Single Climate Control
System(Standard)
Suitable for pitched roof with ceiling cavity. Recommended
for areas up to 100m2 |
Solar Climate Control (Dual Collectors with all components)
Dual Climate Control System (Standard)
Suitable for pitched roof with ceiling cavity Recommended
for areas up to 150m2 |
If you are able to install your Sun
Lizard Climate Control System
on a north facing pitched roof with ceiling cavity, then you have
all the components that you need in the standard package.
Some additional components may be required to complete your installation
if your roof has a different configuration.
Optional Extras
The additional components are bundled in packages to fit different
roof types as described below:
Roof types |
Single Collector System |
Dual Collector System |
South roof with ceiling
cavity
A North-South frame is needed for each solar heat collector
to achieve the optimum solar angle |
1NSCC Kit |
2NSCC Kit |
East and West roof with
ceiling cavity
You must have the Dual Collector System for this roof configuration.
Install the collectors on either side of the roof apex (one
to the east, and one to the west) on frames to achieve the
optimum solar angle to the north,. |
N/a |
I2NSCC Kit |
Only East or West roof
with ceiling cavity
An East-West or North-South frame isneeded for each solar heat
collector to achieve the optimum solar angle |
1EWCC Kit |
2EWCC Kit |
Flat or North roof with
no ceiling cavity
A North-South frame is needed for each solar heat collector
as well as additional external ducting. |
1NSNC Kit |
2NSNC Kit |
Only East or West roof
with no ceiling cavity
An East-West plus a North-South frame are needed for each solar
heat collector to achieve the correct angle. Additional external
ducting is also needed. |
