Are you thinking about installing a solar water heating system in your home? If yes, you should consider solar vacuum tubes collector for your residential water heating system. Please read this blog post and know the benefits of using solar vacuum tubes for the residential solar water heater.                            Efficiency Solar evacuated tube collectors are highly efficient at capturing and retaining solar energy that will help in heating residential solar water heating systems. Flat plate solar collectors can lose up to 30% of the sun's energy due to heat loss. But the solar vacuum tubes have a vacuum layer between the outer and inner tubes.  These collectors work like an insulator and keep the heat inside. That means you can be able to enjoy hot water even during cloudy or cooler days. Hence, you can get hot water for your home year-round.  Durability Solar vacuum tube collectors are specifically engineered to be durable and long-lasting. These tubes are manufactur

Switching to a solar water heater is an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to provide hot water for your home. Not only will you reduce your carbon footprint, but you can also save money on your energy bills. In this guide, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to install and maintain your solar water heater for optimal efficiency.                                                        Installation Choose the Right Location: The first step in installing a solar water heater is to choose the right location. The ideal location should receive plenty of direct sunlight, with minimal shading from trees or other obstructions. Install the Collector: The collector is the part of the solar water heater that absorbs the sunlight and converts it into heat. The collector should be installed on a south-facing roof or mounting structure. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation, making sure to secure the collector properly. Connect the Pipes: The pipes connect

What Do You Mean by Solar Evacuated Tubes? Solar evacuated tubes are viable alternatives to solar water heating and pool heating systems . They are similar to perfectly-build thermos. The air between both glass layers gets sucked out during the manufacturing process to create vacuum.  Hence, there is no air present inside the vacuum layer; so there is no means of transferring heat from a layer to the next. It allows the vacuum tube to absorb solar energy by up to 97% while losing around 3%. This makes vacuum tubes highly efficient for solar pool heating and water heating systems.  Typically, solar vacuum tubes comprise of four specially coated layers of copper, aluminum and stainless steel on the inner tube. These layers absorb solar energy and transfer to the center of the vacuum tube through a heat fin.             How Do Solar Vacuum Tubes Work? A solar evacuated tube works by transferring heat energy from the sun to the copper heat pipe present inside it. The copper heat pi

Currently, most companies and industries using hot water or industrial heating are switching to commercial solar water heaters. That’s due to lucrative savings and returns on the investment and in certain areas like the USA, govt. grants and tax credits can help to give paybacks within two to three years.  Canadian companies investing in commercial solar water heating systems are eligible to take advantage of accelerated tax savings. The same goes for businesses in the Caribbean as the energy cost is very expensive; so without even incentives, a solar water heating system provides excellent returns there.  Apart from this, many commercial building owners and businesses are dedicated to adapt to the “Go Green” concept to build good will and strengthen their branding. Nowadays consumers are very conscious about going green. Now they are preferring companies that show leadership in environmental impact. In fact, commercial solar water heaters symbolize to a consumer that “We Care” and
