How many collectors do I need?
On average, each collector provides enough thermal energy to heat the domestic hot water for two people, provide space heating for 250 ft², or heating for a two person hot tub.
How much space do I need for the collectors?
The length of an array is static, however the height and width depend on the angle that the collectors are mounted. See the charts below for the length and width ranges for evacuated tube collectors.
