    15 year warranty on the collector - the longest in Australia. 

    Evacuated solar tubes are cylindrical in shape which track the sun for longer periods of the day, and at all times of the year and are well suited for frost prone and snow areas and areas of rapid temperature change. 

    They are ideally suited to attach to WISELIVING CentraCoil Hot Water Tanks. WISELIVING is the only Australian owned and operated manufacturer of high quality long-life Copper and Stainless Steel hot water tanks.

    How it works

    Sunlight passes through the glass outer layer of the tube and onto the specially coated inner glass layer. The two glass layers are separated by a vacuum where the heat is trapped within the tube. 

    The heat is transferred to the heat exchanger via aluminium plate and high performance copper heat pipe. The copper heat pipe contained within the evacuated tube contains a small amount of liquid which travels up the tube to the bulb where it condenses and falls back to the base of the tube.

    Water is passed through the manifold and across the heat tube bulbs by way of an energy efficient pump that is operated by an electronic controller, ensuring that the pump only runs when necessary. The hot water produced is then returned to the tank.
