Efficient glass collectors for businesses wanting free hot water generation all year round

Hospitals have had to find ways of reducing their steepling fuel bills. Weston General in the West Country has introduced an Energy Champion, a bunch of staff tasked with coming up energy saving ideas. They work on a voluntary basis to share good practice on how to save money on heating bills. “It’s really something that’s got to be developed into your everyday psyche to become part of your daily routine,” Energy Champion Catherine Ahern told BBC Somerset’s Big Breakfast.

Another ‘energy champion’ is SolarSave, whose Solar Collectors using glass evacuated tubes are the most efficient Collectors available and can be applied to hospitals or other businesses for free hot water generation. Their efficiency is such that they heat water all year round working even on cloudy days. The solar absorber within the SolarSave 15 Solar Tube Collector absorbs solar energy, converting it into heat. The absorber performs better than flat plate solar collectors in cold weather because it minimises heat transfer losses to the water.
