About this asset

Designed for domestic hot water systems, this flat plate solar thermal collector Revit family represents the Bosch Heliotek line with exposed side pipe connections. This solar thermal panel family features an anodised dark metal perimeter frame housing a high-efficiency dark absorber sheet beneath protective solar glazing. Shown across four standard modular aspect ratios ranging from compact square formats to elongated vertical panels, each unit incorporates exposed lateral fluid ports and copper header connections for series or parallel collector array piping. The slim profile maintains a low-profile installation depth suitable for pitched roof mounting rails or flat roof ballast frames, providing clear visual and dimensional fidelity for MEP coordination.

The download is a 553 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load the RFA into your Revit project to position collectors directly onto roof planes, support structures, or host surfaces. Pipe connectors facilitate native MEP system connections to domestic hot water loops, storage cylinders, and solar pump stations. Multiple family types provide standard panel dimensions, enabling rapid array layout, accurate bill of materials scheduling, and clash detection across roof penetrations and structural framing.

Engineered for residential solar water heating, eco-resort villas, and light commercial hospitality schemes, these solar panels suit sustainable housing developments aiming for low carbon certification. Architects and building services engineers typically deploy them in solar thermal arrays, domestic hot water layouts, and rooftop plant equipment plans, coordinating seamlessly with storage boilers, circulator pumps, and rooftop piping runs in detailed schematic and construction documentation phases.
