Yes. One of the major performance advantages provided by Evacuated Tubes when compared with old-fashioned flat plate solar panels is reliability in cold weather. Flat panels suffer from significant efficiency loss in cold conditions. In cold areas flat plate solar panels may require the purchase and maintenance of a glycol system to prevent them freezing.
