Solar Evacuated Tubes - SunMaxx 10 Solar Evacuated Tube Collector
The SunMaxx series solar evacuated tube collectors offer reliable hot water heating in all climates. Designed for areas where flat plate collectors are insufficient such as colder climates, the evacuated tube technology provides additional insulation around their absorbers to retain heat absorption.
Their modern design is coupled with convenient installation methods. Unlike our flat plate collectors, the evacuated tube series collectors are assembled in modules making it easy to have flexible job times. The first step begins with sizing your application and roofing area, next you assemble the frame and connect all required piping. No need to worry about stagnation with these collectors. Install the evacuated tubes after you have installed the mounting hardware and have pressurized the system. We estimated an average time of 1.5 hour to assemble each collector.

Available Tax Incentives! Get help to pay for your solar system!
Energy efficient mortgages (EEMs) can be used by homeowners to finance a variety of energy efficiency measures, including renewable energy technologies, in a new or existing home. The federal government supports these loans by insuring them through FHA or VA programs. This allows borrowers who might otherwise be denied loans to pursue energy efficient improvements, and it secures lenders against loan default and provides them with confidence in lending to customers whom they would usually deny.
