Tube Solar is a company that makes robust and lightweight thin-film solar tubes, primarily for agrivoltaic use. According to the company, thanks to the innovative tube modules from Tube Solar, agriculture and energy generation will not be mutually exclusive, but complementary.
Solar tubes serve a slightly different function. Solar tubes bring light to dark rooms and they are perfect for rooms on lower levels in a house where it’s not possible to use a skylight. Solar tubes won’t aid ventilation or reduce condensation but they are a highly effective option for enhancing the light in a dark bathroom.
Evacuated tube solar collectors are designed in such a way that heat loss to the environment is reduced. Heat loss due to convection cannot cross a vacuum, as it forms an efficient isolation mechanism to keep the heat inside the collector tubes.
Solar water heaters (SWHs) are a well-established renewable energy technology that have been widely adopted around the world.
