Solar panels no fluid

    Hi all,
    As in the title we are having renovation works being carried out in the house and the solar panels had to be drained down as the whole heating system and the water system in the house was being replaced. The panels were covered up but the covering was blown off recently. As a result of the lock down there is no work being done at the moment.
    I'm just wondering if the solar system will be damaged as a result of there being no fluid in the panels with the sun baking them ?

    If they are "flat plates" as distinct from evacuated tubes then probably OK as the highest (stagnation) temperature they reach is ~ 140C but the E.Tubes can reach 250C so maybe contact the manufacturer if E.Tubes installed.

    Hi John G
    Yes they are flat plate panels. Thanks for your answer.
