Apricus is the only manufacturer in Australia to utilise evacuated tube technology in their solar hot water systems. The tubes (or collector) are fitted to your roof and the water which circulates through the tubes is heated naturally by the sun, and is then collected in a tank ready for use. Apricus Systems are engineered to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are designed to save you up to 80 per cent on your hot water bills.
Having partnered with some of Australia’s most respected hot water industry leaders including Everlast, Bosch, Rinnai and Reece, Apricus can provide customers with efficient and affordable solar hot water.
How does it work?
The Apricus Solar Hot Water System comprises a collector, pump, controller and storage tank. The sun’s energy is absorbed by the tubes and is then transferred to your water via innovative heat pipes located inside each tube. The heat pipes transfer the heat into a heat transfer manifold located on your roof. Water is pumped through this manifold where it absorbs the heat, and is then stored in a water storage tank.
