Imaca does not use a traditional flat panel for solar hot water heating, but rather an evacuated tube collector. The evacuated tube consists of two glass tubes, with the space between the two tubes having most of the gas removed from it. Hence they are evacuated, which provides a high level of insulation. As solar radiation passes through the outer glass tube and heats the inner tube, it is trapped by the lack of gas, which would otherwise allow convective and conductive heat losses. As a result, the efficiency of the Neopower Solar Hot Water System collector is high and the collector will perform well even on cloudy days.
