ONE FOOTPRINT, TWO SOLUTIONSA HYBRID PANEL THAT SIMULTANEOUSLY PRODUCES ELECTRICITY AND HEATING FOR YOUR SWIMMING POOL
The electricity generated by the high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) cells can cover all the electricity needs of your swimming pool (in particular, the pool equipment and in some cases, the heat pump). Any surplus electricity can be self-consumed in your home, or returned into the grid for a feed-in tariff or a net-metering program.
The internal heat exchanger allows direct connection to your pools water circuit. As the pool water flows through the heat exchanger, the water is heated whilst simultaneously cooling the panel, increasing the efficiency of the PV electrical generation.

ELECTRICITYThe conversion of light into electricity is called the
photovoltaic effect. Solar panels convert energy from sunlight into direct current (DC) electrical energy, which is
then changed into alternating current (AC) for your home’s electrical consumption. Excess energy can be fed into a
battery storage system for later use, or returned to the grid for a feed-in tariff or a net-metering program.
WATERAs pool water is circulated through the heat exchanger
integrated into the underside of the photovoltaic surface, it absorbs the surplus energy created by the sunlight and photovoltaic effect. As a result, the water is heated and
returned to the pool whilst simultaneously cooling the panel and allowing the PV electrical generation to be maintained
at peak performance.
100% RENEWABLE ENERGY
THE ZERO ENERGY POOL
There’s no doubt that your pool contributes a significant amount towards your electricity bill during swimming season. Whilst this may pose economic challenges to the average pool owner, the increasing impact on the environment’s natural resources has long lasting and far reaching effects.
Heatseeker DualSun provides a powerful solution for the swimming pool and spa industry, and more importantly for pool owners. The simultaneous generation of electricity and heated water allows the ongoing energy consumption of a pool to be neutralised, and avoid any government legislation that could negatively impact the industry.
Convert your investment into the zero energy pool, freeing yourself from the electricity companies by creating your own clean, reliable and 100% renewable energy.
STC SOLAR REBATE
The Australian Government Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme creates a financial incentive for individuals and small businesses to install renewable energy systems such as DualSun. It does this through the creation of small-scale technology certificates (STCs).
STCs are provided ‘up front’ for the systems’ expected power generation over a 15 year period or, from 2017, from the installation year until 2030 when the scheme ends.
Generally, homeowners who purchase a DualSun system assign the right to create their certificates to a supplier/installer in return for a lower purchase price.
The number of STCs that can be created per system is based on its geographical location, installation date, and the amount of electricity that is generated or displaced by the system.
As a guide, one STC is equal to one megawatt hour of eligible renewable electricity.
* Commercial installations may be entitled to Large-scale generation certificates based on the amount of eligible renewable electricity they produce. For further information, please speak to your Supreme Heating representative.

POOLS
INNOVATIVE HEAT EXCHANGER
Completely integrated into the panel, allowing for excellent heat transfer between the
photovoltaic surface and the water flow.
ULTRA THIN DESIGN Standard dimensions of a
photovoltaic panel (156mm cell, 60 cells).
HIGH PERFORMANCE PHOTOVOLTAICS

by water circulation.
ENHANCED PERFORMANCE
THE EVOLUTION OF SOLAR POWER
DualSun’s hybrid solar PV thermal technology is based on two principles:
1. Standard PV panels generate much more heat (82.8%) than electricity (17.2%) when exposed to the sun.
2. The efficiency of PV panels decreases as the surface temperature increases.
The innovative DualSun hybrid solar panel utilises the excess heat from the PV cells, transferring it to the heat exchanger to produce heated water. In the process, the water circulation cools the PV cells, increasing efficiency by up to 20%. Therefore, a DualSun installation can utilise up to 4 times more energy than a standard photovoltaic installation.

The Heatseeker DualSun system not only allows you to sleep easy at night knowing you’re making the responsible choice when it comes to powering your pool, it also provides an excellent return on your investment through tremendous savings in energy costs of up to $66,560 over the course of 20 years.
Once your Heatseeker DualSun panels have collected energy from the sun, that energy needs to be converted from DC electricity to AC electricity for daily use in your home. DualSun is compatible with a range of options to help you achieve this. The correct option for you will depend on your individual needs, and will be discussed with you at time of consultation.
STRING INVERTERSString inverters work by collecting
the energy generated by your solar panels and converting the DC electricity to AC electricity through
a central location. Whilst string inverters are the most inexpensive option, they only perform as well as
the lowest-performing panel.
POWER OPTIMISERSPower optimisers are attached to
each panel where the electrical production is maximised and then
sent onto a centralised string inverter. Power optimisers ensure that the energy output of each individual
panel is utilised.
MONITOR YOUR PERFORMANCE
With DualSun, you can monitor your energy production levels as well as the performance and health of your system from an easy to access online interface.
Generate reports, share your data and track the performance of your investment over time.
MICRO INVERTERSMicro inverters are attached to each individual solar panel and convert the DC electricity
to AC electricity at the source of electrical generation, allowing
each panel to perform to maximum capacity.
Data based on 5kW system on an average size (32m2) swimming pool heated to 28°C for 6 months in Melbourne, Australia with the use of a pool cover 12hrs/day and an electrical cost of 35.4c/kWh as per Origin Energy January 2018. Pool heating expense is based on the alternative use of an inverter heat pump with a COP of 10. Data assumes all generated electricity is used in the home.
CLEAN ENERGY COUNCIL (CEC) APPROVED PV MODULE PV60129019 CERTIFIED IEC 61215 & 61730 AND SOLAR KEYMARK
DualSun panels are AS/NZS 5033-compliant for use in the design and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, as per CEC requirements, and are eligible for small-scale technology certificates (STCs). Heatseeker DualSun panels must be installed by CEC-accredited installers.
