Evacuated Solar Tubes

There are many benefits to having a solar powered house.

Solar energy can help you save money while producing electricity for your home

The rising level of awareness about issues pertaining to our environment is leading many people to try out alternate sources of energy these days. Among them, solar power is perhaps the most widely used source of energy. Not only is it is renewable, it is also cheap and helps us contribute towards a healthier environment too.

Lots of homeowners are switching to homemade solar power energy. There are some powerful reasons to make the switch such as saving money on your energy bills and helping to fight against global warming

Evacuated Solar Tubes

'High Quality' Solar Panels for the UK Climate

Evacuated tubes use solar radiation to heat water, generally for bathing or washing or heating swimming pools.

Evacuated tubes are far better at exchanging heat into water than flat plate technology. As the temperature of the water increases, the ability for any system to exchange that heat decreases. Evacuated tubes suffer much less from this issue.

With advances in technology solar water heating systems have become much more efficient, with Evacuated Tube Solar Water Heatings offering efficiencies of well over 90%. This means that more than 90% of the sun's energy landing on a surface is converted into heat which can then be used to heat water. This is also one of the cheapest renewables, with costs starting from pennies per Watt required comparing to pounds per Watt for PV Solar and Wind Turbine power generation.
