The V-Guard 500 LPD FPC Pressurized Solar Water Heater is a large-capacity flat plate collector system rated to 8 bar, built for establishments with a booster pump and sized for 12 to 13 people. It uses four collectors with a glass-lined mild-steel tank, and carries a 5-year warranty on both tank and panels.
Pressurized for booster-pump buildings. At 500 litres serving 12 to 13 people a joint family, a PG, a hostel, or a guest house this is the pressurized large-capacity option. Rated to 8 bar, it holds up against the pressure a booster pump delivers and supplies hot water at the same pressure throughout the building's plumbing, so showers stay strong across multiple bathrooms drawing at once. If your terrace has a booster pump, this is the configuration you need; a gravity-fed heater would underperform in a pressurized building.
The V-Guard name and the glass-lined tank. V-Guard is one of India's most trusted home-electrical brands. This unit uses a glass-lined mild-steel inner tank at 3.0 mm a thick tank with a glass-lined coating and a sacrificial anode rod that corrodes in place of the tank. Backed by a 5-year warranty on tank and panels, it is a more durable choice than the entry non-pressure 500 LPD, appropriate for an establishment installing a system it intends to run for years.
Flat plate technology at scale. Four flat plate collectors absorb sunlight across their surface and heat water directly into the 500 litre tank the proven, low-maintenance technology, reliable in strong direct sun.
On hard water. Confirm the hardness rating before ordering the sheet says 400 ppm, but the smaller pressurized FPC units handle 600 ppm, so this may be understated. Either way, if your borewell water runs past 1000 ppm as parts of Bangalore and Hyderabad do, a glass-lined ETC unit rated to 2000 ppm will outlast this tank. On a large four-panel system where replacement is costly, matching the tank to your water hardness matters most tell our team your water and we will confirm.
Before you order: your terrace needs a minimum 10 feet by 10 feet of clear, unshaded space, since four flat plate collectors take a large footprint. Because this is pressurized, the overhead tank does not need to sit above the heater as a gravity system requires. Confirm you have a booster pump. Send our team a photo and measurements of your terrace and we will confirm before you spend anything. An electrical backup coil is available separately.
The price includes transportation to your house, lifting to the terrace, and installation. You arrange the plumbing connection.
