Why choose SunSaver “All Glass” U Tubes?

Our SunSaver Evacuated Solar “U Tubes” form the perfect solar collector .They are made up of two separate, ‘All Glass Tubes’, fused together at the top and bottom to form one single tube. The outer glass is clear borosilicate glass and the inner tube is coated with a dark solar selective material. The space between the outer and inner tubes is evacuated to form a vacuum, providing almost perfect insulation against heat loss by conduction and convection. Vacuum tubes which use metal and glass have a greater failure rate due to different rates of contraction and expansion between metal and glass. Our ‘All Glass Tube’ eliminates this problem .

The U Tube collector is the  most efficient tube in our range. It is a direct flow system designed with maximum efficiency and cost effectiveness in mind. It can be installed at any angle 0––180°, horizontally or vertically. This collector has one of the best cost to output ratio of any collectors available on the Irish market.

“Per kW produced, against per euro spent this collector leaves more expensive competitors in the shade

Invest in the sun

Money invested in a solar collector is better than money in the bank! As other fuels become expensive because of supply or currency difficulties, your solar collector produces a return, which will only increase in relative value. Your roof receives the equivalent of 100 litres of heating oil  per square meter, per year. With a SunSaver U-Tube collector on your roof, you can collect this valuable resource and convert it into hot water  .

From the day you install a SunSaver U-Tube solar collector, this ‘free energy’ will be captured and converted to hot water for domestic use in your home. The cost of this energy will never increase!
