The selective coating on the outside of the inner
glass tubes ensures high energy absorption and low
heat loss, which converts solar energy into heat and
transfers this heat to the copper U tubes by the
aluminium fins.

Suntrap Evacuated U Tube Solar Collector SLU 1500/16
Sunshine in Australia (Zone 3) is rated at 1 Kilowatt per
square meter.
To calculate peak watts per Suntrap U Tube Solar collector,
Multiply the Aperture area x the Intercept efficiency (as above):
1.33 x .695 = 0.924 Kilowatts per hour.
1 x Suntrap U Tube Solar Collector = 924 peak watts per hour
2 x Suntrap U Tube Solar Collectors = 1.84 peak Kilowatts per hour
3 x Suntrap U Tube Solar Collectors = 2.77 peak Kilowatts per hour
