Solar energy canaccount for up to70% or more of theenergy required toheat the domestichot water of anaverage familyhousehold.

Based on typical northeastern location. Solar coverage can be significantly higher in many locations.

Solar energy is free and can beharvested effectively in climates likeours. With a solar system fromViessmann, with highly-efficientcollectors and matching systemcomponents, even the smallestamount of solar radiation can be usedeffectively. Viessmann solarcollectors are specifically designed fornorthern climates, and can produceenough solar energy to heat as muchas 70% of the annual hot waterrequirements of an average familyhousehold.* During the summer months a high-performance solar system coversalmost all the energy required to heatyour domestic hot water, reducingyour oil, gas or electricityconsumption and making you lessdependent on fossil fuels. In thetransitional months, solar energy isgenerally best used to preheatdomestic hot water.Viessmann solar collectors can alsobe used to supplement space heatingor pool heating applications.

Good for the environment

A solar system can make a realdifference. Not just by reducing theenergy bill, but by reducing harmfulgreenhouse gas emissions as well. Asolar system can lower the averagecarbon dioxide (CO2) production of astandard North American householdby 3/4 of a tonne a year.*

Built for the future

Viessmann solar collectors are builton more than 30 years of experience.And like other Viessmann products,all Viessmann solar products areconstructed using the highest-quality,corrosion- and UV-resistant materials,such as powder-coated aluminum,copper and stainless steel. ViessmannVitosol collectors are performancetested in Europe, and in NorthAmerica by the Solar Rating andCertification Corporation (SRCC) andare designed to produce aconsistently high thermal output for aperiod of more than 20 years.

A smart choice

An investment in a renewable energysystem, like solar, not only reducesthe day-to-day operating cost, but isalso frequently subsidized by differentlevels of government. Both in theU.S. and Canada, an increasingnumber of incentive programs areoffered by federal, state or provincialgovernments. Viessmann solar collectors areOG100 certified and are eligible formany of these incentive programs.For more information on currentincentive programs in your area,please contact your local ViessmannSales Representative.

Viessmann Solar

At Viessmann we are committed toenvironmentally-friendlymanufacturing processes and greenheating solutions. Our solar heatingproducts are the result of more than30 years of experience. More than 2million Viessmann solar collectorshave been installed in Germany alone. With a Viessmann solar system youare making an investment for thefuture.

Vitosol 300 – vacuum tube solarcollectors


The Vitosol 300 is a vacuum tubesolar collector with exceptional year-round performance. Due to theinsulating qualities of the vacuumtubes, this collector providesexcellent results especially in coldweather and windy conditions. Theintegrated stagnation protection alsomakes it your best choice for a spaceheating supplement system.

Principle of operation

The Vitosol 300 operates based onthe heat pipe principle. Solar energyis captured by the Sol-Titaniumcoated copper absorber in thevacuum tubes of the collector. Theenergy is then transported via theheat pipe to the double-pipe heatexchanger where it is transferred tothe solar fluid. The fluid thencirculates the solar energy to yourdomestic hot water storage tank.

Patented Duotec heat exchanger

The unique Duotec double-pipe heatexchanger of the collector almostcompletely surrounds the heat pipecondenser tip, ensuring the bestpossible heat transfer. A “dry” connection (i.e. withoutdirect contact to the solar fluid)transfers the solar energy from theheat pipe to the solar fluid. This ofcourse not only simplifies theinstallation process, but makes foreasy replacement of individual tubes -even when the system is filled andunder pressure.

Easy installation and maintenance

During installation, collectors areeasily connected in series withflexible connection pipes and quick-connect fittings. And thanks to the“dry” connection between heat pipeand solar fluid, individual vacuumtubes are easy to replace. Eachvacuum tube can also be rotated foroptimal alignment to the sun.

No overheating

A challenge for any solar system isperiods of sunshine with no heatconsumption - so-called stagnationperiods. The Vitosol 300 collectorcomes with an integrated temperaturelimiting thermal valve in thecondenser tip that prevents thesystem fluid from overheating duringstagnation periods.

High-quality construction

High-quality, corrosion-resistantmaterials, such as special hail-proofsolar glass, powder-coated aluminum,copper and stainless steel, guaranteereliable and efficient operation on aconsistently high level for as long as20 years or more.

High-efficiency collection of solar energythanks to the heat pipe design, Sol-Titaniumcoated copper absorber and vacuum sealedglass tubes.

Intensive heat transfer from the condenser tothe solar fluid is provided by the Duotecwrap-around pipe heat exchanger.

A temperature limiting thermal valve in thecondenser tip prevents the system fluid fromoverheating during stagnation periods.

Long service life and reliability thanks to theuse of durable, corrosion-resistant materialssuch as copper, impact-resistant solar glassand flexible stainless steel.

Short installation times with flexibleconnection pipes, dry connection of thecollector tubes to the heat exchanger, andquick-connect fittings and mountinghardware.

Universal application for flat and sloped roofs,or as a free-standing installation.

Vitocell 100 and 300 domestic hot waterstorage tanks

One source. One system.

Viessmann offers a complete line ofhigh-quality flat plate and vacuumtube solar collectors, as well as sys-tem components, such as stainlesssteel storage tanks, system controls,innovative mounting hardware andpre-assembled pumping stations - alldesigned and manufactured by Viess-mann to integrate seamlessly. This complete system approach - withall components conveniently from onemanufacturer, designed to match per-fectly - not only saves time in theplanning and installation phase, butprovides maximum system reliabilityand performance. For additional energy savings, Viess-mann solar systems also integrateeasily with our boiler technology orany domestic hot water heating sys-tem.

Integrating a solar system

There are two primary ways ofintegrating a solar system, dependingon the configuration of your domestichot water heating system:

1. Solar retrofit preheat systemsWith a solar retrofit preheat system,solar is easily integrated into virtuallyany existing domestic hot waterheating system. This system uses asingle-coil solar tank connected to thecollectors. The collectors preheat thewater in the solar tank, which is thenfed into the existing hot water tankor instantaneous hot water heater.

Products may not be exactly as illustrated.


2. Single-tank systemsWhen integrating solar into a newhome, for example, a single-tanksystem is typically used. This systememploys a dual-coil tank where heatfrom the solar collector(s) istransferred to the domestic hot watervia the lower coil, and backup heat issupplied as required by a boiler viathe upper coil.

Domestic hot water (DHW) tanks

For both system configurations,Viessmann offers high-qualitydomestic hot water storage tanks:
