Apricus Solar Co. Ltd products

Solar water heaters use the solar energy from the sun to generate heat (not electricity) which can then be used to heat water for showering, space heating, industrial processes or even solar cooling.

A PV module (or PV panel) is made up of several photovoltaic cells. When exposed to sunlight, these cells produce a small direct current of electricity, and can generate a large amount of electrical power when installed as multiple arrays, with no moving parts, noise or CO2 emissions. The PV cell takes advantage of the photoelectric effect at the atomic level. The cells are constructed of semiconductor materials, typically silicon-based, and layered between electrodes to provide a path for electrons to flow. The layers are manufactured to have opposing charges (positive and negative) to create the potential for an electric field. Photons in sunlight contain energy that is absorbed by the cell and stimulates electrons to dislodge from their atoms and create an electric field. The flow of electrons between the semiconductor layers is the electricity that is harnessed by your solar PV system to supply your home or business with renewable energy.

The Apricus ETC-10 collector is designed to be used in a wide variety of solar thermal (heat) applications in almost any climate. The evacuated tube and heat pipe technology provides very efficient and reliable solar thermal production in a simple to install design.

The Apricus ETC-30C (30 tube) collector exceeds the requirements of the Buy American Act and is eligible for projects funded by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act.

The Apricus FPC-A32 flat plate solar thermal collector is suitable for residential or commercial solar water heating projects.  The flat plate collector features a low profile design (80mm / 3.15" profile), which combined with ultra-lightweight melamine foam insulation, makes it one of the lightest flat plate panels per m² on the market. The TINOX Energy Aluminium absorber sheet absorbs up to 95% of available sunlight converting into usable heat for hot water production.

Thermosiphon (or thermosyphon) is a method of passive heat exchange, based on natural convection, which circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump. This circulation can either be open-loop, as when the substance in a holding tank is passed in one direction via a heated transfer tube mounted at the bottom of the tank to a distribution point—even one mounted above the originating tank—or it can be a vertical closed-loop circuit with return to the original container. Its purpose is to simplify the transfer of liquid or gas while avoiding the cost and complexity of a conventional pump.

The Apricus AC-1 is a robust and intuitive differential solar controller with a simple, easy to use interface and SD card datalogging capabilities. Available in the North American market only.
