Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Heaters are relatively new to Sydney and work in a different way to the traditional solar collector plate that has been around for a long time now. Visually they look very different to the solar collector that is seen on traditional Solar Hot water Systems, with a series of long glass tubes not unlike large florescent tubes - the evacuated tube has two layers of glass with a small gap between the two layers. This gap is vacuum sealed in order to retain the suns' energy within the tube and then heat the metal rod in the centre of the tube. Through the day as the sun shines on the evacuated tubes, which are all connected to a heat transfer manifold across the top of the system, the metal rods within increase in temperature and heat the water that is then pumped through the heat exchanger manifold and back to the tank on the ground.

Some of these types of Solar Hot Water systems are eligible for Government Rebates depending on the number of reusable energy credits (REC) each system earns. The amount of REC is dependant on the solar efficiency of the Solar Hot Water System - the higher the number the more efficient it is. With Evacuated Tube Solar Water Heaters more tubes can be added to increase solar efficiency as well as REC. During the colder winter months and on consecutive cloudy days the storage tanks have an alternate back- up, electric or gas boosted.

As with all types of Hot Water Heaters it is important to have the system installed professionally in order to gain the maximum benefit from your investment.
