Why Solar Vacuum Tubes for Water Heating?

Vacuum Tube Solar Collectors (also called Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors or solar evacuated tubes) are a renewable heat source for various hydronic heating applications such as space heating, domestic hot water heating, SPA/Pool Heating and Industrial Process Heating. They have been specially designed to perform in Canadian Winter and similar Nordic Climates (such as the northern part of the US). Solar vacuum tube collectors are the central part of any vacuum tube solar water heater system. They transfer thermal heat, into vacuum tube solar water heaters, which is absorbed by solar evacuated tubes, to a heat transfer fluid which directly or indirectly heats a thermal storage device. (For more details please go through our blogs: How do Vacuum Tubes Collectors works? or How do Solar Water Heating Works?)

How much money do you save by producing thermal heat by Solar Vacuum Tube Collectors?

Harvested solar energy from the sun is free, but converting that energy into useful and economical use is the most expensive part. Proper Planning and Design of any solar installation is the key for a successful solar project: Lowest possible cost, highest possible saving and fastest return on investment such as investing in a solar evacuated tube. Simulating Solar energy based on geography and demographic isn't a simple task. Our Technical Team has crafted a blog to make easier to estimate saving in most major Canadian cities using evacuated tubes: How much energy can your vacuum tube solar water heater generate?.  A much easier way to size and select your solar water heating system is to contact our technical team or simply filling this online FORM.
