How do Endless Solars Evacuated Tubes work?
Most solar water heaters use “flat plate” technology which has been around for many years. Now there is a better alternative. Endless Solar uses state-of-the-art Evacuated Tube technology, a clever Australian design and highly efficient heat transfer techniques. Flat plate solar water heaters reach peak perfomance only in the middle of the day. A great deal of the sun’s energy is simply lost through reflection off the flat glass panels, especially in the morning and afternoon. Also, traditional flat plate collectors lose much of the energy that they collect when the ambient temperature is cool. During winter, they struggle against the outside temperature to put heat into your water. Because the Evacuated Tubes in an Endless Solar water heater are cylindrical, they are always facing the sun and therefore they can absorb more of the sun’s energy all day long. In fact, Australian Standards testing shows that an Endless Solar collector will catch and keep significantly more of the sun’s en
