The V-Guard 500 LPD FPC Non-Pressure Solar Water Heater is a large-capacity gravity-fed flat plate collector system with a stainless steel SS-304 inner tank, sized for 10 to 15 people. It uses four collectors to heat a 500 litre tank, protected by a sacrificial anode rod and rated for water hardness up to 400 ppm, with a 1-year warranty.
Large-capacity hot water for a joint family or establishment. At 500 litres, this serves a joint family, a small PG, a hostel, or a guest house where 10 to 15 people need hot water in the same morning window. Four flat plate collectors feed the tank, using the proven flat plate technology that performs reliably in strong direct sun. This is the non-pressurized version for buildings that run on gravity from an overhead tank, without a booster pump. If your terrace has a booster pump, this product is not for you; you need a pressurized model.
The V-Guard name and the stainless tank. V-Guard is one of India's most trusted home-electrical brands. This unit uses an SS-304 stainless steel inner tank at 2 mm, backed by a sacrificial anode rod that corrodes in place of the tank. It is the entry option in V-Guard's large-capacity range a known-brand system at an accessible price for the right water conditions.
Two honest and important points before you buy. These matter more at 500 litres because the install is large and expensive to replace.
First, the hardness rating is 400 ppm soft water only. Much of Bangalore, Hyderabad, and borewell-supplied India runs well above that, often past 1000 ppm, and on harder water this tank will scale and corrode long before its time. On a four-panel 500 litre system, replacing a corroded tank means dismantling the entire array off the roof a major, costly job. Before buying, tell our team your water hardness; if your supply is hard, we will steer you firmly to a glass-lined unit rated to 2000 ppm, because this product is genuinely wrong for hard water.
Second, the warranty is 1 year the shortest in the range, and short for a large-capacity system. That reflects the entry positioning. For an establishment installing a 500 litre system it intends to run for years, a longer-warranty glass-lined unit is usually the better investment, and our team can show you those options and what they cost.
Before you order: your terrace needs at least 9 feet by 15 feet of clear, unshaded space four flat plate collectors take a very large footprint, so measure carefully. Your overhead tank or Sintex must sit at least 6 feet above terrace level, because this runs on gravity. And confirm you do not 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.
SolarClue is India's managed solar marketplace. Our team confirms whether 500 LPD suits your household or establishment, whether your water hardness suits a 400 ppm tank, and whether your terrace and tank height work for a gravity-fed system, before you pay anything. You book with a token payment rather than the full amount upfront. Delivery, terrace lifting and installation are coordinated by us through verified partners, and we handle V-Guard warranty support afterwards.
