Quick Answers to Common Questions
A flat plate collector is a flat metal plate that intercepts and absorbs solar energy with a transparent cover that lets sunlight through and reduces heat loss. A layer of insulation at the back further limits heat loss.
They are transparent outer glass tubes allowing light rays to pass with minimal reflection. Each tube contains an inner water pipe coated to absorb the sun’s rays and generate heat as water runs through.
No. A flat plate only heats water; it does not produce electricity.
Evacuated tube systems are generally more efficient, especially during cooler months and cloudy days. Their vacuum insulation reduces heat loss and their shape captures sunlight more effectively.

Yes, if your geyser is B-rated (solar ready).
About 5 years depending on the manufacturer’s warranty.
A passive system with the geyser located higher than the solar collector. Natural convection moves cooler water down and hotter water up without pumps.
A system where the geyser sits below the collectors and a circulating pump moves water between them.
Yes, finance options are available.
Up to 50 % of your electricity bill.
Typically one day, though each job can vary.
Usually 2–3 years.
Yes. While not as efficient as in summer, an electrical backup maintains optimal temperature (±55 °C).
About once a year. Regular service can extend system life to 10 years or more.
