Case Overview

A Kenyan installer was working with property developers on estates of similar houses, with clay tile roofs and a tight programme. They needed a thermosyphon system that could be delivered and installed house by house, without breaking tiles or losing parts. Millionsun designed a boxed kit for one house, with brackets that suit local clay tiles and instructions their crews could use from the first day.

Client Requirements

The partner’s margin on estate work depends on speed, and on avoiding returns to site for missing parts or broken tiles.

  • Kit per house: everything for one roof in one delivery, easy to move to the right plot.
  • Tile-friendly mounting: brackets that work with clay tiles without breaking them.
  • Consistent appearance: units that look the same from house to house, to please developers.
  • Durable tanks: tanks and fittings that cope with variable water quality.

Our Solution

We prepared a kit for tiled roofs, then packaged it in a way that suited an estate rollout.

  • Thermosyphon unit: insulated tank above a flat plate collector, using natural circulation.
  • Tile-friendly brackets: hook-style roof mounts that fit between tiles and spread the load.
  • OEM tank: corrosion-resistant inner tank with polyurethane insulation, pressure tested, and labelled as the partner requested.
  • House-by-house packing: every set boxed and labelled for one house.
  • Training sheet: a short illustrated guide to mounting, filling and first start-up, for the partner’s crews.

The Result

  • The developer has a standard solar water heater to include in future phases, and the partner is the natural choice for them.
