Flat Plate Solar Collectors are typically more efficient in warmer climates than other Solar Collectors, but they can suffer from inefficient performance and a lack of freeze protection in colder weather. If you are in a warm climate zone, Flat Plate Solar Collectors are likely to be the most cost-effective choice for you. However, if you are in a colder climate zone you may instead want to consider a system based around our SunMaxx Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors.
