Why we recommend Apricus

Passive tracking of the sun

Apricus collectors are designed with a round surface that can passively track the sun through the day. See the graphs showing the annual light exposure of an Apricus Evacuated Tube System versus a Flat Plate System

Lightweight and durable design

Due to the fact that there is no water held in the tubes themselves the system is able to be installed by a single plumber. There is also no need to strengthen a healthy roof as the average system only weighs around120kg.

Excellent cold weather performance

Apricus collectors can perform well even in freezing conditions thanks to thick glass-wool insulation within the manifold and vacuum insulated evacuated tubes.

Save on your energy bills

Installing an Apricus solar hot water system is not only beneficial for the environment but can reduce your household bills up to 80%! The greatest contributor to household utility bills is energy used for heating water, a solar system can make a real difference.
