Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems
Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems deliver better performance than traditional systems on the market today. The systems use high efficiency technology which is now used overseas in millions of systems per year. Evacuated tube systems have proven more effective when compared to flat panel solar hot water systems.
This is because flat panel systems are located flat on the roof and collect the radiant heat from the sun to heat the water, but the collection plates are flat and can only operate at maximum efficiency when the sun is directly over the the top at midday. However Evacuated tube Solar Hot water Systems have managed to overcome this problem, because the collector is made up of a series of tubes and the suns rays sit at a right angle to the tubes for the majority of the day. This allows the Evacuated tube system to operate at maximum efficiency for much longer than flat panel units.
The sun provides a limitless source of free non-polluting energy every day. A Hills Solar Evacuated Tube Hot Water System can efficiently capture this free energy and provide you with up to 80% savings on your hot water heating costs.
How efficient are Evacuated Tube Systems?
Evacuated tubes are much better at exchanging heat into water than flat panel systems. When the water temperature increases, the ability for any system to exchange that heat decreases. However Evacuated tube systems aren't affected by this issue.
Will an Evacuated Tube System work on a cloudy day?
Yes, even on cloudy days the evacuated tube systems will achieve some solar gain. The Hills Esteem Solar System is supplied with an electric or gas booster to provide continuous hot water when thermal energy from the sun is low.
