GUNT Domestic Water Heating with Flat Collector is a widespread type of collector, which collects solar energy in a non-concentrating way. The absorber is a selectively coated metal sheet that conducts heat well. The flat collector is mainly used for hot water preparation and heating support. It represents a balanced compromise between simple, cost-effective construction and efficiency.
