SolarisKit’s HelioFlow solar collector, at the heart of the HelioPro solar hot water system, is purposefully engineered to suit flat-roof buildings. Its unique prismatic design, combined with modern materials and British engineering, offers a stylish, efficient, and reliable alternative to conventional solar water heaters. Whether you are working on a new-build villa, a resort in a hot climate, or a green building retrofit, HelioPro delivers performance without compromise.
Current Solar Water Heaters Aren’t Designed for Flat-R00fs
Most traditional solar water heating systems, such as flat-plate or evacuated tube collectors, were designed decades ago and rarely accommodate the unique constraints of flat-roof architecture. They tend to be bulky, unattractive, and prone to overheating in hot climates—problems that SolarisKit set out to solve.
Old solar water solutions like the flat-plate collector shown here are designed for sloped roofs, not flat-roofs.
The SolarisKit HelioFlow collector features a patent-pending prismatic geometry that is inherently stable on flat surfaces. Its compact form factor and angled internal tubing allow for efficient solar capture throughout the day, without requiring complicated frame mounts or large tilting brackets. That makes installation easier, faster, and more visually appealing on contemporary flat-roof homes and hotels.
HelioFlow doesn’t just work with flat roofs—it’s made for them.

Designed to Avoid Dangerous Overheating
In hot countries like the UAE, Qatar, or Kenya, overheating is a common issue with conventional solar water heaters. Evacuated tube and flat-plate systems can reach dangerously high stagnation temperatures when hot water isn’t being used, especially in summer.
HelioFlow’s polymer absorber material has a key thermal advantage: it naturally limits peak temperatures. This prevents damage to pipes, seals, and tanks, avoiding common system failures caused by heat stress. The result is a safer, longer-lasting solar water heating system that can be relied on year-round—even during periods of low water use or holidays.
This thermal self-regulation also protects the collector from scaling and degradation, boosting long-term reliability.
SolarisKit HelioFlow will heat water to 60 degrees Celsius and designed to avoid reaching excessive temperatures.
Compatible with Hard Water
Hard water can severely reduce the lifespan of solar thermal systems. Mineral deposits form in copper or metal absorbers, clogging pipework, lowering efficiency, and increasing maintenance costs.
SolarisKit solves this with a polymer-based absorber that is far more resistant to scaling than conventional metal designs. This material choice ensures that the HelioFlow collector remains efficient even when installed in areas with hard or mineralised water. From the Gulf region to parts of East Africa, the HelioFlow system is engineered to perform where other systems struggle.
That makes it ideal for villas, resorts, and residential blocks where water quality is often variable or untreated.
Unlike other solar collectors which use metal absorbers, the SolarisKit HelioFlow solar collector is made using an engineered polymer, better suited for hard and mineralised water.
Modern, Minimal Design That Adds Value
The SolarisKit HelioFlow collector and HelioPro range are designed with appearance in mind. With its clean lines and low profile, the HelioFlow system blends seamlessly into modern architecture. It doesn’t compromise the aesthetics of flat-roof villas or upscale hotels. In fact, it enhances them.
This is an important distinction when comparing to large, exposed flat-plate collectors or delicate glass evacuated tubes that can spoil the clean look of a roofline. The HelioFlow design turns the solar collector from an eyesore into a talking point—a key benefit for developers and architects aiming for high-spec green builds.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
The HelioPro solar hot water range combines the HelioFlow collector with an optimised hot water cylinder and controller unit, creating a complete and easy-to-install solution. Installers benefit from a flat-packed delivery format that simplifies logistics and reduces emissions during transportation.
MEP engineers and facilities managers can specify HelioPro systems with confidence, knowing they’re getting a reliable, low-maintenance solution. With fewer mechanical parts, no fragile glass tubes, and excellent resistance to thermal and mineral stress, HelioPro reduces the lifecycle cost of solar hot water systems.
In a market where reliability is just as important as performance, HelioPro stands out.
Aligns with Net-Zero and ESG Goals
Reducing carbon emissions from water heating is a critical step for any building seeking LEED, BREEAM, or Estidama certification. In many residential and hospitality developments, hot water represents one of the largest sources of energy use.
The SolarisKit HelioPro system can deliver substantial energy savings—up to 70% reduction in hot water energy use depending on location and usage patterns. For property developers and consultants, this means easier compliance with green building targets, improved EPC ratings, and enhanced ESG reporting for investors and tenants.
It’s not just about saving money. It’s about building better.
British Innovation with Global Appeal
Engineered in the UK and Solar Keymark certified, SolarisKit’s solution represents a new generation of solar thermal technology. By moving away from traditional bulky designs and embracing performance-driven simplicity, the HelioFlow system provides a competitive edge for modern developments worldwide.
Its modular design and robust materials also make it well-suited for export and local assembly, opening the door to wider deployment across emerging markets. Whether you’re designing smart villas in Dubai or eco-resorts in Zanzibar, HelioPro offers a flexible and forward-thinking solar water heating solution.
Engineered for the Future of Flat Roofs
Flat-roof architecture is becoming increasingly popular in warm climates, driven by modern design trends, urbanisation, and new construction methods. But until now, solar water heating hasn’t kept pace with these changes.
SolarisKit’s HelioFlow and HelioPro systems change that.
By solving long-standing technical challenges—such as overheating, scaling, and installation complexity—SolarisKit has developed a next-generation solar water heater built specifically for the future of sustainable buildings. The combination of performance, simplicity, and design aesthetics makes HelioPro a smart choice for any forward-thinking developer or consultant.
SolarisKit HelioPro is the only solar water solution designed for flat-roofs.
