Every Solar Thermal system is made up of a Solar collectors

Pump and controller

which the fluid is pumped around the system. Evacuator tubes consist of rows of parallel tubes, each
containing a glass thermal absorber. During production,
air is evacuated from the tubes allowing it to reach higher
temperature at all light levels.
• Evacuated-tube collectors have a higher efficiency than
flat-plate collectors, so they may be a good option if you
have a small amount of space
• They can also be mounted in almost any orientation,
from a flat roof to a wall. Even if you already have PV
panels covering your roof, you may still be able to fix a
solar thermal collector to a south-facing wall
• Easy to repair. Failed tubes can just be replaced without
