Brand Names:
The panel is similar to 'Thermomax' and identical to 'Apricus'- but it is purchased directly from the factory, so it does not have the European brand name. The panels we supplyare infact identical to several other panels on the market (from the US, Switzerland and Germany). This is because the manufacturer produces panels for some of the biggest names in vacuum tube solar panels - which are simply re-branded once they reach Europe.

Shipping:
We can ship the panels (5 or more) in wooden crates, which prevents damage in transit, however the crates are large, and suitable for 5-20 panels. We have successfully shipped to locations within the UK, Germany, France etc using this method. I have very competitive shipping prices for europe - eg 100kg wind turbine shipping costs only £75 to most of Europe.

Solar energy is the cleanest and most inexhaustible of all known energy sources. Solar radiation is the heat, light and other radiant energy that is emitted from the sun. The sun's energy, although plentiful, has been hard to directly harness until recently.

Solar water heater converts solar energy into thermal energy, then heat the water step by step. The beauty of this system is it does not create pollution or harmful emissions, and is extremely economical - the fuel (sunshine) is free! Plus, they are environmentally friendly. To take full advantage of these heaters, you should ideally have an unshaded, south-facing location (a roof, for example) on your property, although they can be utilised at ground level also. This type of Solar water heater is now extremely popular in many areas of the world, are are now becoming much more popular in the UK, due to their high efficiency.

Until now, solar panels were not particularly popular in the UK due to their low efficiencies during the spring, autumn and winter months. Classic solar panels (flat plate collectors) work equally well as radiators - and therefore unless ambient temperature is high, heat losses are considerable. Flat plate collectors, despite their poor performance at UK lattitudes, have remained the panel of choice until now, due to their low cost, and DIY-suitability. However, we are now able to offer much higher efficiency vacuum tube collectors at similar prices to flat plate collectors.

1. High temperature output even in cold weather
2. Warms water even during winter, as long as the sun is shining
3. Produces heat even in overcast weather
4. Easy to fit
5. Higher efficiency and greater installation flexibility with heat to many of the more expensive brands on the market - as the tubes and headers are all manufactured in the same factory by an OEM supplier.
