Apricus Solar Hot Water 20 Tube System

System Includes:  Apricus 20T collector, flat to roof frame, Wilo Yonos PICO-Z pump including unions, Resol ALE HE controller, NRV

Note: Apricus solar hot water systems will last at least 15 to 20 years so please consider bedroom
numbers and future changes in occupancy when specifying.

Cold Weather
The Apricus solar collector tubes have a vacuum between two glass layers that work similarly to a thermos flask by retaining up to 95% of the solar energy they capture. This means that heat is retained and not lost into the atmosphere in colder climates and during the winter months. The collectors are rated to handle frost down to -15°C without the use of glycol, which dramatically reduces maintenance of the system.

Coastal Design
The anodised aluminium frame treatment combined with marine grade 316SS attachment plates, tube clips, nuts, bolts and washers make the collector extremely durable in coastal installations.

High Wind Rating
Apricus aluminium frames can cope with wind gusts of up to 316km/h (cyclonic winds), independently reviewed by structural engineers to AS/NZS1170.2.

Durable Design
Each batch of tubes undergoes random selection steel ball impact testing and 100% visual inspection. In addition, Apricus tubes have passed NZ/Australian, European (Solarkeymark) and Swiss hail stone impact testing and are rated for hail resistance, up to 25mm hail stone at 25m/s multiple times and in various places.

Compact & High Capacity
Solar tubes provide a greater surface area than flat solar panels, they take up less roof space and perform better in shady or cloudy conditions. The collectors are compact with a very high capacity, meaning you don’t have to cover your whole roof with solar collectors.

Passive Sun Tracking
Our solar hot water systems are tested to the most respected and rigorous certification standards, these are the Solar Rating & Certification Corporation (USA) and Solar Keymark (Europe). This high level of certification and standards testing’s exceeds what most solar suppliers in New Zealand are selling, so check the certification before you buy.
