Integrated,
evacuated tube solar water heating
systems are still the
least expensive, very simple with the highest absorption and
heat transmitting efficiency and used all over the World.
Each
System consists
of:
- array of vacuum
tubes with three target absorption layers, integrated into the
water tank for direct heat
exchange,
- stainless
steel solar water tank with high density, 60mm thick
polyurethane insulation layer,
- s/steel or
powder coated aluminium frame and
stand for rust protection even on coastal installation,
Due to the
non-aesthetic design (water tanks
that are situated on the roof together with the solar
collector) and is
visible to the eye,
South African
people have
not yet welcomed such systems to their households
which is totally wrong. For our African climate
and the best sunshine in the World, the
use of Integrated solar water
heating systems is the best and cheapest option. Such systems
don't have any moving parts and when
correctly installed on the roof do not require any maintenance
or service during life time. Payback period is
approximately 3 years for the system from the date of installation.
