Case Overview

A Nepali contractor works across the valley and hill areas, on institutional buildings and larger homes with very different roofs. Rather than keep a different collector for each, they asked Millionsun to supply one collector with mounting designs for tiled roofs, flat roofs and open ground, and to make the supply suit local logistics: narrow stairs, hand-carrying and local steel fabrication.

Client Requirements

The partner wanted to reduce the number of products they stocked and make each project easier to deliver.

  • Mounting flexibility: tiled roof, flat-roof and ground options on one collector range.
  • Hand-carry handling: parts light and compact enough to take to rooftops without cranes.
  • Temperature swings: strong daytime sun and cold nights, with well-insulated collectors.
  • Local fabrication: the option to make steel frames in the partner’s own workshop, to save on freight.

Our Solution

We gave the partner one collector and a set of adaptable mounting designs.

  • Standard flat plate collector: the same collector used on all mounting types, to keep spares simple.
  • Frame drawings: fabrication drawings for steel support frames, so the partner could have them made locally to suit each roof.
  • Hand-carry packaging: single cartons with corner protection, sized for narrow staircases.
  • Split system components: pump station, controller and tank for sites needing mains-pressure hot water.
  • Documentation pack: collector data and installation instructions in English, for the partner to adapt for its own clients.
Partner supportWhat Millionsun adds behind every partner project

OEM & private label

Your brand on tanks, collectors, cartons and manuals, built to your specification and tested before dispatch.

Parts & components

Controllers, pump stations, fittings and spare parts supplied with or after the shipment, so your crews are never stuck.

Technical support

Sizing and layout checks, installation drawings, training material and after-sales help for your engineers and installers.

The Result

The contractor now supplies a range of building types from a single collector, with the option to fabricate frames themselves.

  • One collector across several mounting types keeps stock and spares simple.
  • Local frame fabrication reduces freight volume and gives the partner more control of lead times.
  • A ready documentation pack saves the partner’s engineers from writing their own from scratch.
