Where to buy evacuated solar tubes
I am toying with the idea of fitting solar water heating to a property....
I have found a couple of places that sell complete "kits"... but they are expensive..
Anyone know a supplier with a decent website/datasheets that just sells the evacuated solar collector tubes? I can sort the plumbing/control out
myself!

Suggested Solar Tube supplier
Hi,
I think that the units from Eco nomical at www.eco-nomical.co.uk look OK and the prices seem reasonable.

Veissman were some of the first people to make them. They mainly deal with commercial stuff though. Still worth a look if nothing else helps!
