Ultrasun 200L Solar Water Heater in Kenya

The Ultrasun 200L Flat-Plate Direct Solar Water Heater in Kenya is a high-quality solar hot-water system designed for homes, apartments, guest houses and small commercial properties that want to reduce electricity costs while enjoying a dependable supply of hot water.

With a 200-litre hot-water storage capacity, efficient flat-plate solar collector and open-loop thermosyphon operation, the Ultrasun system uses Kenya’s abundant sunshine to heat water naturally and store it ready for use.

The standard Ultrasun 200L Direct Solar Water Heater, model DSD200, is designed as an open-loop thermosyphon system, where domestic water circulates directly through the solar collector before returning to the insulated storage tank.

Why Choose the Ultrasun 200L Solar Water Heater?

If you currently depend on an electric shower, electric geyser or conventional electric water heater, switching to an Ultrasun solar water heater can significantly reduce the amount of grid electricity required for everyday water heating.

During sunny conditions, solar radiation heats the water through the flat-plate collector. The heated water naturally rises into the storage tank through the thermosyphon process, while cooler water circulates back toward the collector.

This simple design allows the system to heat water using solar energy without requiring an electric circulation pump.

Heavy-Duty 200L SUS304 Stainless-Steel Tank

The Ultrasun 200L Standard Direct Solar Water Heater incorporates a heavy-duty storage tank with a SUS304 stainless-steel inner cylinder, enclosed within an insulated galvanized-steel casing.

The insulated tank helps retain heat after the water has been heated by the sun, allowing hot water to remain available for use later in the day or evening.

A sacrificial anode is also incorporated for additional corrosion protection on applicable configurations.

High-Efficiency Flat-Plate Solar Collector

The Ultrasun flat-plate solar collector uses capillary copper pipes ultrasonically welded onto a black-chrome absorber plate and covered with high-transmittance glass. This construction is designed to capture solar radiation efficiently and transfer the collected heat into the circulating water.

The copper-based collector construction provides an effective heat-transfer path and makes the system suitable for reliable everyday solar water heating.

Direct Open-Loop Solar Water Heating

The Ultrasun 200L is a direct solar water heater, also known as an open-loop system.

In this design, the water used in your bathrooms and other hot-water outlets passes directly through the solar collector where it is heated.

This design is simple, efficient and particularly suitable where the incoming water quality is appropriate for a direct solar water-heating system.

Davis & Shirtliff describes the Ultrasun standard range as open-loop thermosyphon systems in which water circulates through the collector and is then stored in the tank ready for use.

Reduce Electricity Costs with Solar Hot Water

Water heating can create a substantial electrical load in homes and businesses.

The Ultrasun 200L Solar Water Heater allows solar energy to provide the primary source of heat during normal sunny conditions.

Instead of using electricity every time someone takes a shower, the system collects free energy from the sun throughout the day.

For a household with regular hot-water demand, this can help lower electricity consumption and reduce dependence on conventional electric water heating.

200-Litre Capacity for Residential Hot Water

With a 200L storage capacity, this system is well suited to medium-sized households and properties with regular hot-water requirements.

It can be used for showers, bathrooms, kitchens and other domestic hot-water applications.

The exact number of people a 200L system can comfortably serve depends on shower duration, water temperature, mixing ratio and daily consumption, so correct system sizing is recommended before installation.

Thermosyphon Operation – No Circulation Pump Required

One of the advantages of the Ultrasun 200L direct solar water heater is its thermosyphon operation.

As water inside the collector becomes hotter, it naturally rises into the storage tank. Cooler water then flows downward into the collector and the cycle continues.

This natural circulation means the basic solar-heating cycle does not require a powered circulation pump, helping keep the system simple and reliable.

Electric Backup Heating

Ultrasun systems can incorporate an auxiliary electric heater and thermostat to provide backup water heating when solar energy is insufficient, such as during extended cloudy weather or periods of unusually high hot-water demand. Kenyan listings for the standard direct range describe electric backup heating on equipped versions.

This gives users the advantage of solar heating during normal conditions while retaining electric backup when required.

Durable Galvanized Mounting Frame

The system is supplied with a galvanized mounting frame designed to provide secure support for the solar collector and hot-water system during rooftop installation.

Correct installation is important to ensure suitable collector orientation, structural support, plumbing connections and maximum exposure to sunlight.

Ultrasun 200L Solar Water Heater Specifications

The standard DSD200 system is currently shown by Davis & Shirtliff with a 60-month warranty.

Warranty terms should follow the seller’s current warranty conditions and installation requirements.

Where Can the Ultrasun 200L Solar Water Heater Be Used?

The 200L Ultrasun solar water heater is suitable for applications including residential homes, maisonettes, apartments, guest houses, staff houses, Airbnb properties, lodges and small commercial premises.

For hotels or buildings with significantly higher hot-water demand, several systems or a larger centralized hot-water solution may be required.

Direct vs Indirect Solar Water Heater

Choosing between a direct and indirect solar water heater should be based partly on local water quality.

A direct system allows domestic water to circulate through the solar collector itself. It provides a simple and highly effective solution where water conditions are suitable.

Where water contains high levels of minerals, salts or hardness that may cause excessive scaling or corrosion, an indirect/closed-loop solar water heating system may be more appropriate.

Water quality should therefore be assessed before selecting your system, particularly where the property depends on borehole or mineralized water.

Why Ultrasun Is a Strong Choice for Solar Water Heating in Kenya

The Ultrasun 200L Flat-Plate Direct Solar Water Heater combines a stainless-steel storage tank, copper-based flat-plate collector, natural thermosyphon circulation and robust mounting structure into one practical hot-water system.

It offers a strong option for Kenyan property owners who want to:

• Reduce electricity bills
• Use solar energy for daily water heating
• Get dependable hot water for showers and household use
• Reduce dependence on electric showers and geysers
• Invest in a durable 200L solar water-heating system
• Take advantage of Kenya’s strong solar resource

Professional Installation Recommended

The performance of any solar water heater depends heavily on correct installation.

The installer should consider roof orientation, roof strength, collector inclination, available sunlight, water pressure, plumbing layout, pipe insulation, water quality, safety valves and electrical backup connections.

Professional installation also helps ensure the solar collector receives adequate sunlight throughout the day and that hot-water pipe losses are minimized.
