Understanding the Technology behind Solar Evacuated Tubes Solar evacuated tubes have been around since the early 1900s. But solar heating systems are now using solar evacuated tube technology. The solar vacuum tube technology works similarly to a thermos bottle. The technology involves trapping the heat energy inside and providing an insulation barrier, ensuring that there is no heat loss back to the air.  Solar evacuated tubes work effectively in colder climates, especially during freezing conditions. However, Latitude51 Solar provides evacuated solar tube water and pool heating packages . Our solar-powered systems include the SunRain solar vacuum tubes that use a copper heat pipe in the center of the tube.  The solar heat energy is transferred to the heat pipe using specially-engineered aluminum fins. The heat pipe contains a small amount of liquid under vacuum conditions. However, according to Physics, the liquid under the vacuum will boil at a lower temperature. Due to this pheno

Solar PV kits capture the sun’s energy and transform it into electricity for your home or business. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels comprise solar cells. Solar cells are made from silicon-like semiconductors. They contain a positive and negative layer that creates an electric field like a battery.  How Do Home Solar PV Kits Work?  The sunlight hits the solar panel present on the roof.  The solar panels help convert the solar energy to the DC, which flows to the inverter.  The inverter converts the DC to AC, which you can use further to power your home.  Now your home is powered using solar energy. The excess AC you won’t use is sent back to the grid, which the utility company further uses.  You can expect to use clean and renewable energy through PV kits. They are more efficient and affordable as you will get maximum cost savings and energy credits.  What Makes the Solar PV Kits Perfect for Residential Applications? Residential solar panels are easy to install on the rooftops or the g

Canada is one of the sunniest places in the United States, and we are fortunate enough to live there. So, why don't you use the free natural energy from the sun to heat our swimming pools? This is where solar pool heaters come in handy. The solar-powered pool heating systems have only some moving parts and use little energy. They make the systems the most efficient, low-maintenance, renewable pool heating alternative available on the market.                                  How Do Solar Pool Heaters Work?  First, the pool's cold water gets pumped up to the roof, where solar thermal energy heats the water. After that, the hot water returns to the pool at the warmer temperature. The quantity of heat absorbed and the subsequent increase in pool temperature depends on the system's design, the collector's size, and the type of control the system uses. Once the solar pool heater is installed, you will heat your swimming pool water using the sun's natural and free ene
