These systems only require a 23Watt pump compared to flat panel types which are around 1200Watt. These tubes have much better sun harvesting properties and are the best solar hot water system types on the market.

Apricus solar collectors can be installed in many different configurations depending on your requirements, and type of house. The structure of the collector can be seen below. Normally the evacuated tubes are 1.8m long, and come in 10, 20, 22 or 30 tube sizes.

Apricus solar collector operation

The operation of the solar collector is very simple

1. The sunlight strikes the dark-blue absorber inside the evacuated tube.
2. The copper heat pipe within the tube transfers the heat up to the copper header pipe housed inside the insulated manifold box.
3. A pump circulates water from the storage tank through the copper header pipe warming the water.
4. The solar heated water is then returned to the storage tank raising the temperature.
5. Gradually the water in the storage tank is heated.
6. The water is boosted by electricity or gas as required to ensure hot water even during poor weather.

Electric Systems

If no gas supply is available, an Apricus electric boosted solar hot water system is the ideal choice.
Water in the Everlast storage tank is heated by the AP solar collector with backup boosting as required by an off-peak element in the bottom of the tank.

The complete system includes:

Manifold, Evacuated Tubes and Heat Pipes
Standard pitch frame. (Optional frames are available for a flat or low pitched roof.)
Circulating Pump
Solar Controller
Everlast Stainless Steel or Apricus Vitreous Enamel water storage tank.
