How Apricus Systems Works, Better...

Apricus solar collectors can be installed in many different configurations depending on your requirements, and type of house. The structure of the collector can be seen below. Normally the evacuated tubes are 1.8m long, and come in 10, 20, 22 or 30 tube sizes.

The operation of the solar collector is very simple

1. The sunlight strikes the dark-blue absorber inside the evacuated tube.
2. The copper heat pipe within the tube transfers the heat up to the copper header pipe housed inside the insulated manifold box.
3. A pump circulates water from the storage tank through the copper header pipe warming the water.
4. The solar heated water is then returned to the storage tank raising the temperature.
5. Gradually the water in the storage tank is heated.
6. The water is boosted by electricity or gas as required to ensure hot water even during poor weather.

Save Money with Apricus

With the rising prices of electricity, gas and fuel for your car, saving energy has become a real concern for everybody. There are many ways to reduce your energy bills without compromising your lifestyle. Hot water is something we just can't do without, as there is nothing like a good, hot shower. Hot water, however, requires lots of energy, as much as 15kWh for an average family of four. That can equate to more than half of your household's energy consumption and therefore, your energy bill. Space heating is also another luxury that uses enormous amounts of energy.

Fortunately thermal solar collectors, like Apricus, can greatly contribute to the energy required for hot water and heating, cutting usage of traditional energy sources. This means that your bills are less each month. Furthermore, the money spent on your solar collector is actually an investment that will provide long term returns, unlike paying money on bills that is gone forever!

Just as one would prefer to buy a house rather than rent one (as a monthly rent payment is almost equal to that of a monthly mortgage payment), you can also "own" your energy by installing an Apricus collector vs. "renting" energy from the utilities companies. An Apricus solar collector can be installed in a new house as a complete water heating system, used to replace an old system, or even retrofitted into an existing water heating system.
