About this asset

This roof-mounted solar water heater Revit family features an inclined dual collector array paired with an elevated horizontal storage cylinder. The assembly is composed of two sloped flat-plate thermal collectors framed in structural metal, supported by rear vertical posts and bottom support rails. Running along each collector surface are evenly spaced vertical riser tubes beneath protective glazing. Directly above the collectors sits a two-section horizontal water storage cylinder with curved upper profiles and vertical front faces. The entire structure is rendered in a neutral monochrome grey finish, delineating the support legs, internal collector piping, and the thermal reservoir in a clean geometric form.

The download is a 430 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 this RFA component directly into your Revit project to represent rooftop renewable equipment in architectural and plumbing models. The element can be placed on flat roofs or tilted pitches by aligning the support base with roof planes or curbs. Customise material parameters for glazing, casing, and framing to coordinate with visual elevation drawings and BIM schedules.

Typical applications include single-family villas, townhouse developments, low-rise residential schemes, and boutique hospitality chalets targeting energy efficiency. It sits naturally on rooftop utility zones, secondary flat roofs, or tilted roof decks alongside HVAC condensers and solar photovoltaic arrays. Architects and MEP engineers searching for rooftop solar hot water systems, thermosiphon solar heaters, and residential sanitary equipment will find this family straightforward to coordinate across roof plans and overall building elevations.
