Solar Energy Hot Water System

Solar hot water has come a long way in the last 10 years, particularly with the introduction of evacuated tube collectors which are rapidly becoming the preferred option over flat plate systems.

Flat Panel Vs. Evacuated Tube

Evacuated tube collector based systems:

• Capture sunlight better as they have a greater surface area exposed to the sun at any time.
• Are more efficient in transferring heat.
• Can be used in subzero temperatures.
• Are durable and if a tube should be broken, it can be easily and cheaply replaced.
• Provide excellent performance in overcast conditions.
• Require a smaller roof area than comparable flat plate collectors.

Over all both types of solar collectors are fantastic but by studying the points above evacuated tube panels have a slight edge over flat panel. When one of our consultants visits your home they will explain everything about the two different types of panel and will let you know which one will be best for your home.
