Vacuum Tube Solar Collector Kit, SRCC Certified, VT58 SERIES - Complete with Manifold, Frame, Tubes and 30⁰ Frame Kit

Why Vacuum Tubes for Water Heating?

Vacuum Tube Solar Collectors (also called Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors) 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). Vacuum Tube Solar Collectors are the central part of any Solar Water Heating system. They transfer thermal heat, absorbed by 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 Vacuum Tube Solar 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. 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: How much energy can you 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.
