Evacuated tubes are regarded as the most efficient and cost effective solar water heating method of producing

natural hot water. As the name suggests the tubes contain a vacuum which has been manufactured with a single,

double or triple wall construction. The glass on the inner tube is coated on its outer surface with an absorbent

coating, and on its inner surface with a reflective coating. The tubes are vacuums which have a copper heat pipe

which runs through the middle of the tube.

The heat pipe carries the heat, which is generated by infra red radiation, up the tube to be collected. The heat pipe

contains anti freeze which allows heat to be generated even in freezing temperatures. The heat from the copper

pipe is transferred into the Header Pipe through which more antifreeze flows. This heated antifreeze is then pumped

through the hot water tank where the water gets hotter and the antifreeze gets cooler. The antifreeze then returns to

the solar heating module to be heated again. This flow is constant resulting in the water in the tank becoming hot.

Solar flat-plate collectors [ FPC ] are suitable for warmer climates. Flat-plate collectors are affordable and easy to

install. For a household size of 4 to 5 people, two flat-plate collectors should be enough to provide 80% of all hot

water needs. The first step begins by determining the volume of hot water needed and whether there is area

available for the installation. Solar collectors can be installed on the roof or on the ground.

Flat-plate solar collectors specification: Aluminum frame, galvanized steel plate, rock wool insulation, red copper

pipes, fin and tube with brazed joints.
