Parabolic Tube
- http://www.ffwdm.com/solar/solar-index.htm - $110 USD per kW of heat?
- Ut this requires replacement of insides with a u- copper tube, which is a valiant effort. Tbis is because evacuated tubes have a closed heat exchanger mechanism - a closed copper tube with heat exchanger bulb.
- Unless one can find low cost u-tube heat exchangers, the evacuated system appears to be too complicated compared to plain black tubes.
BOM
- $25 per 6 foot evacuated Tube, no inner tube - water directly in glass? - [1] - affordable.
