standing reputation for engineering high quality heating appliances, the Buderus brand
is now present in over 50 countries worldwide.

Our experience in developing a wide range of heating products for international

markets and a variety of applications has enabled us to build a comprehensive level of
technical expertise and a highly skilled service support network that ensures our
world-class products, and your investment, deliver reliable and efficient heating year
after year.

A fully compatible solar system

Although solar is a relatively new technology, Buderus already has over 25 years of
experience developing and manufacturing their own collectors, accessories and
controls for the European market.

This means that our solar products are fully compatible with our extensive range of
commercial boilers and control systems. Together these products will deliver a highly
efficient and precisely managed energy solution for practically any size of installation

Quality, performance and life-long reliability

Buderus solar panels utilise advanced light absorption technology to capture radiation
from the sun and convert it into energy that can be used to provide up to 60% of your
hot water needs, or to backup your space heating.

Collectors are continually exposed to the elements and so are designed to withstand Month

Multiple siting possibilities
Collectors can be combined in a variety of configurations to suit the largest of
installations, either fitted on the roof, in the roof, or mounted on specially angled
frames where flat roof or wall-mounting options are required. All collectors are
available in either landscape or portrait orientation to maximise available roof space.

Two continuous meandering copper pipes
circulate solar fluid through the collector,

rates are low. When multiple collectors
are connected in series, a dual meander

the risk of hot spots. With a parallel

power requirements for ancillary solar
pumps are reduced. Only available with
SKS 4.0 collectors.
5. Comprehensive insulation
To further reduce heat loss from the
absorber, collectors are lined with 55mm
thick mineral wool and backed with
0.6mm zinc aluminium coated steel.
4. Hermetically sealed
The SKS collectors have hermetically
sealed edges. This creates an air tight
space filled with argon to prevent
water vapour from entering the
collector. Consequently energy is not
wasted burning off condensation first
thing in the morning. In addition,
contaminated air (e.g. urban pollution)
cannot settle on either the absorber or
the underside of the glass hence
efficiency is maintained throughout
the lifetime of the collector. Only
available with SKS 4.0 collectors.

Solar Controls

Comprehensive energy management

With the Buderus range of solar controls, pump groups and accessories your heating
system can operate at maximum efficiency all year round. Servicing, maintenance,
system diagnostics, heat distribution and temperature settings can be quickly and
easily managed from a single controls platform that communicates with all
components in your Buderus heating system.
Our SC controllers are a user friendly range of independent solar controls that
provide comprehensive solar functionality – the perfect solution to complement any
third party conventional boiler.

Solar DHW and Backup space heating

SC 20 Controller SC 40 Controller KS Solar Pumping Station

The SC20 provides control for systems
with one solar storage cylinder. Collector
and cylinder temperatures, pump speed
and run hours can all be displayed in
real-time, using the simple “push & turn”
menu and animated LCD. The unit can
be wall mounted or integrated into the
KS station.
All Buderus solar controls (SC20, SC40, SM10 and the FM443 solar module) have • 3 NTC inputs
the following functionality to maximise efficiency and performance as standard; • 1 switched output.
Pump modulation
A fully modulating pump will automatically adjust its speed to maintain a constant
temperature differential between the collector and the solar storage cylinder. For
example, the pump speed would be reduced on a cloudy day to enable the circulating
solar fluid to absorb the required amount of energy.
The SC40 range can control up to 27
individual hydraulic systems, central
heating and even swimming pools.
Different areas of the system can be
visualised and monitored on the
animated graphic display, allowing simple
calculation of daily heat outputs. The
SC40 is also capable of controlling two
collector fields with separate pumps
mounted in different directions e.g.
east/west splits.
• 8 NTC inputs
• 5 switched outputs
• RS232 interface.
The Buderus KS range of solar
pumping stations circulate heated
solar fluid from the collector panels
to the water storage cylinder, and
optimise the flow rate of each panel.
4 different sizes of pump group are
available so that any size of solar

usage. This function is particularly useful if there are periods of very high demand for
DHW and the cylinder is drained quickly. In this situation the control switches to high
flow mode to maximise solar gain and to keep the temperature of the reserve region
at the top of the cylinder above the level at which the boiler would normally come into
operation. This improves solar efficiency and reduces boiler start-ups.
