We have been having some pretty cloudy weather lately, and that has been a challenge for those of us who depend on our solar hot water systems. But I have noticed that even on days when there is cloud cover all day we still make some hot water. I read where the evacuated tube has a better track record than the flat panel in this circumstance. I have been very pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of these high tech devices.

This morning (May 19) it was 32 degrees Fahrenheit at my home with a big frost and temperature no higher than 55 degrees during the day under otherwise sunny skies and and yet we got very near 100 degrees in the bottom of our storage tank by 6:30 P.M. Keep in mind we don’t get sun on the collector until around 9:30 A.M. and shade comes over in the afternoon at about 4:45 P.M. at this time of year. In my opinion Solar Evacuated Tubes rule!! nuSun has individual tubes in stock and ready to ship.  

Ask us about quantity discounts for wholesale evacuated tubes.
