Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors – Heating Up the Northeast
Many people have the false belief that Solar Energy cannot work in the Northeast – states like New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and other, because the winters are too cold, too long, days are too short and it is too cloudy there too often.
The truth is, Solar Thermal, or Solar Hot Water, is incredibly efficient and cost-effective in the Northeast. This is because of a newer technology – Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors. Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors have many advantages over traditional solar collectors, including:
Unique 360 degree design increases collection earlier and later in the day
Increased freeze-protection offers better operation in winter time and colder climates
High BTU Outputs
Cost-Effective and affordable pricing
Short payback periods and high returns on your investment
Can be used for domestic hot water
Can be used for pool/spa heating
Can be used for radiant home heating
