Alexandria
In Alexandria salt spray and consecutive overcast days make coastal-grade materials and auxiliary sizing two primary design decisions.
Read the details
Alexandria combines two of the harder conditions for any solar heating system: salt-laden coastal air, and a winter with more consecutive overcast days than inland.
The design therefore has to resist corrosion like any coastal site while relying on a properly sized auxiliary source so that cloudy spells never become a service interruption.

What makes installation inside Alexandria different
- Salt spray and high humidity require coastal-grade material and fixing selection.
- Consecutive overcast winter days make auxiliary source sizing a primary decision rather than a fallback.
- Rooftop wind loads are higher, so mounting bases are calculated for the site.
- Many older buildings carry ageing pipe networks, so survey precedes design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Alexandria winters are cloudy, so will a solar heater work?
It will, provided the auxiliary source is sized for consecutive overcast days rather than a single one. A hybrid system delivers stable hot water through winter while solar covers the larger share across the rest of the year.
Do humidity and salt affect the system?
Yes. High humidity and salt spray accelerate corrosion in fixings and exposed parts, so material selection for coastal sites differs and preventive maintenance includes a corrosion inspection.
