All solar geysers are equipped with absorbers and storage tanks.       The water is heated in the absorber and then stored in a separate       storage tank. The Tapison system is the only one currently       available in the market in which these two components are       actually integrated: The absorber serves as the storage tank as       well. It consists of three components:

1. The "heat tank": A re-enforced 102x50x10 cub.cm. aluminium tank     which serves as both absorber and storage tank. The tank is made     from 1.5 mm. aluminium sheets. The side exposed to the sun is     painted black for maximum absorption of heat.

2. A container box , 108x58x19 cub. cm. of UV protected white PVC     board (8mm. thick) into which the heat tank is fitted. The side     exposed to the sun is covered with 3 mm. high-impact     polycarbonate (in heavy hail risk areas) or 5 mm. glass (in hail risk     free areas).

3. A header tank, which is fitted onto a little platform attached to the     top end of the system. This tank contains a valve which controls the     water feed from the main supply and supplies water to the heat     tank. NOTE: The header tank can be placed anywhere, as long as     its bottom is higher than the top of the heat tank.
