Greenskies Solar-Lux 6
Description
Greenskies Solar-Lux evacuated tube solar panels are our highest performing solar panels. They offer solar hot water luxury even when conditions are cold and cloudy.
Double glass vacuum tubes and 360 degree absorption using Compound Parabolic Compound (CPC) mirror technology mean that the Solar-Lux panels represent maximised hot water output for minimised roof space.
Within our Greenskies range, Solar-Lux panels offer you the optimum investment in hot water comfort per square metre of panel because of their high efficiency and sizing flexibility with 12 and 6 tube panels.
