Depending on location, there is an optimum pitch that traditional solar collectors need to be installed at in order to achieve maximum solar gain. This causes limitations for some installation location options.

The Solar Lord UTube’s unique design, however, allows it to be installed at a number of different vertical and horizontal grades with minimal impact on performance and efficiency. This is not possible with traditional flat panel and heat pipe style evacuated tube solar collectors, due to the fact that they rely on pitch to operate effectively.

As such, Solar Lord’s UTube offers flexibility of pitch and orientation and allows for far more options in the design stage.

Furthermore, the UTube solar hot water system can be tilted from its manifold end, allowing for the easy achievement of north orientation.
