How these supersede other solar tubes?
1. This solar technology includes the patented Low E glass. This uses a special low iron glass formula which has reduced the reflective properties and increases the absorption.
2. Because the glass surface is not flat. It has 360 deg absorbtion ability, which give better performance than all other flat solar technologies, giving a more even output throughout the day and a higher output at low outdoor temperatures can be achieved with this technology.
3. Each solar tubes has twin-skin vacuum filled glazing for better heat retention. Just like a thermos flask, once the heat is in it becomes trapped.
4. This IS a direct flow solar collector type, which gives best performance. This is NOT cheap heat pipe type.
We supply two types of evacuated tubes systems, both manufactured within the Europe and both LCBP, Solarkey marked and Swiss tested and approved:
Installation tip: If you are uncertain of the roofing aspect of a solar installation, then some plumbers employ a local roofing company to apply the panels to the roof for them.
Skills and equipment
To undertake an evacuated tubes installation requires competant but basic knowledge of plumbing principles. If you are changing the hot water cylinder, then a Part P qualified plumber is recommended.
The solar tubes themselves come pre-built at the factory, so hoisting the panel up to the roof using correct safety equipment is relatively straight forward. A scaffolding tower up to roofline level is required for a safe working platform.
The electrical set up is basic, but if you are taking an electrical spur from the bathroom area, then a Part P electrical qualification is required.
Step by step instructions included with kits
Think safety first, work alongside a qualified plumber if unsure. Full step by step instructions are
supplied with all evacuated tubes kits.
A word about quality
Their are some companies who are importing and selling poor-quality Chinese systems in the UK. Solar Trade Suppliers (UK) has been approached by these companies and declined there products. Generally speaking they are made with lower grade raw materials and are not manufactured to a high quality and as a result are not as efficient as evacuated tube collectors should be.
A cheap option is often a false economy with evacuated tubes were longevity and performance are concerned.
Performance results:
Swiss research gave clear indications of where the best and worst solar tubes are made. The most effective flat plate collectors are made in Austria and Germany and the best evacuated tubes in Switzerland and Northern Ireland. Six of the 10 worst performing evacuated tube collectors are made in China. Its tests show that the best performing collectors are more than twice as efficient as the worst ones.
Both the premium and budget solar tubes collector technology are Solar Keymark Accredited and EN12975-1: 2006 approved, is a LCBP listed product with our unique 'no quibble guarantee' for your piece of mind.
This solar technology is sold in: Australia, USA, Canada, Middle East, UK, to name a few.
