With the data posted these are very well worth looking into. Storage or larger volume of DHW is a benefit, where weather might be inconsistent. Also using just one small panel to recover 100 or more gallons would ensure enough reserve on low output days. But with the data it seems the panels make some serious water at some low outdoor temps.  I like it, just would like to know more specs to size and calculate options. Thanks Greg for sharing.

Super store heaters are awesome, quote one on every job. It's the last heater you'll ever need to buy. I see their 30 tube collectors do 7-9 million btu/year output. Save a lot of cords of wood right there. HTP evac panels started at $2375 , and there is a 30% fed tax credit with no limits for solar water heater systems. Expires Dec. 2016.  They have some output charts and 10 year warranty details.

To all,

30% tax credit on Solar.

These Solar Hot Water Heaters qualify for the 30% tax credit (rebate). This is total cost of the unit or units and the installation cost with no limit.

To all,

This is what a Evacuated Solar tube consist of:

We are calling these Simple Solar.

Borosilicate glass, stronger than normal glass!
Black absorber layer!
Aluminum layer!
Then copper inner layer.
Very good quality about 93% efficient! Better then most.

Yeah I had read on many other sources, that these evac water systems are three times more efficient than the latest ones used for electricity. Another good bit of info is Michigan is looking into providing more solar and bio heat support thru rebates n credits as of this month. We will see how far it goes.
