How It Works -

New Generation AWS Evacuated Tube Solar System

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.

Fortunately, an AWS Evacuated Tube Solar 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, you can also "own" your energy by installing an
AWS Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water System vs. "renting" energy from the utilities companies.

AWS Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water System can be installed in a new house as a complete new water heating system,
used to replace an old system, or even retrofitted into an existing water heating system.
The cylindrical shape of the evacuated tube allows the sun's rays and direct day light to perpendicularly strike the absorber surface
for most of the day and I.A.M values actually increase away from the perpendicular, resulting in maximum heat output -
UP TO 87% ANNUAL ENERGY SAVINGS - Based on testing to Australian Standard AS 2712

ALWAYS HOT WATER… In fact the New Generation AWS Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water System generates
higher water temperature beyond what is comfortable to shower under, so an adjustable Temperature Limiting Valve is included.

WINNING DESIGN
The New Generation AWS Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water System was awarded the prestigious industry award:
'Energy Efficient Product of the Year' for 2007 by the GreenPlumbers®.

New Generation AWS Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water System Efficiency Comparison (Melbourne Victoria)



Winter: Based upon solar installation of 296W/m2 and an ambient temperature of 9.9 degrees Celsius in Melbourne, the evacuated tube
solar collector is on Average 163.5% more efficient per m2 of aperture over the flat plate solar collector.
Summer: Based upon solar installation of 861W/m2 and an ambient temperature of 19.8 degrees Celsius in Melbourne,
the evacuated tube solar collector is on average 51.5% more efficient.

EVACUATED TUBE SOLAR COLLECTOR

No ugly water tank on your roof
New Generation AWS Evacuated Tube Solar is a 'split system' using a sleek solar collector on your roof
and a highly-insulated storage tank at ground level.
Now you can do the right thing for the environment and still have a great-looking house.

Freedom to make your house look good
With our system you are not limited to putting the collector on a north facing roof - it will work on east or west facing roofs with no drop in efficiency.
This gives you the flexibility to place it where it will look and function best - maintaining your home's value.

Superior quality means long system life
The use of high-grade stainless steel in our components makes them ideal for our harsh Australian conditions: particularly
in high-humidity areas or near the ocean.

Perfect for cold climates
Evacuated glass tubes do not carry the risk of freezing that can destroy other systems. Importantly, New Generation AWS Evacuated Tube Solar systems do not use the toxic glycol that needs to be regularly replaced in flat plate systems to prevent them freezing and bursting in cold climates
