Solar evacuated tubes are an excellent way to upgrade your home's energy efficiency. These tubes harness the power of the sun to provide hot water for your home, reducing your carbon footprint and saving you money on energy bills. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits of solar evacuated tubes and how they work, as well as provide information on installation and maintenance. Benefits of Solar-Evacuated Tubes Energy Efficiency: Solar evacuated tubes are extremely efficient at converting sunlight into heat, making them a great way to reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources. Cost-Effective: While the initial investment for solar evacuated tubes may be higher than traditional water heaters, they pay for themselves in the long run through energy savings. Low Maintenance: Solar evacuated tubes require minimal maintenance, with most systems only needing to be checked once or twice a year. Long Lifespan: Solar evacuated tubes have a long lifespan, with some systems l...

Defining Solar Water Tanks – Solar water tanks are important features of solar hot water systems and work like buffer energy storage. When the sun is shining, the water gets heated in the storage tank to be used later most commonly during the evening. Most solar water tanks come with a heat exchanger that keeps away the potable water from the solar heating solution – water or glycol. They have excellent insulation value that enables them to retain the heat for days.  Generally, solar hot water tanks are popular in geothermal systems in which the hot air removed from the house through the air conditioner is transferred to the hot water tank to be used in the home.                                               Sizing of a Solar Hot Water Storage Tank – You ...
