Apricus Solar Hot Water Systems
The Apricus Vacuum Tube Solar Collector is a highly efficient solar hot water heater, particularly suitable for northern climates such as the UK and Ireland. The curved absorber inside each vacuum tube means that the Apricus system collects energy from early morning until evening, maximising the potential of this collector in our climate conditions. This is known as the incident angle modifier (IAM) and makes the Apricus collector one of the most efficient products available.
