    Have a look at this site and see if your proposed tubes are tested, If not ask for all available documentation and if that is not provided, I would tell them to put the tubes where the sun won't heat them :)

    Please choose the installer of your wood pellet very carefully

    We supply woodpellet boilers and have alot of problems with "registered installers"..

    Simply put the installers are not calibrating the boilers correctly and are giving problems in alot of cases.. generally in the same regions by the same "professionals"

    We are at the moment trying to get a list of nationwide installers that we can trust.

    I saw the tubes at the sei gig today: they win the ugly ducking contest no problem.

    I met all the 'tubies' today and none of them claim to do more than 70% HW

    so HTF is ur supplier telling u that the tubes will do all the HW and the UHF

    what is the heat demand and how many hectares of tube are u unstalling:)

    ^ lol correct.

    Max heating contribution from solar to room heating is 30% annual req.

    And thats being generous.

    As for the water heating.. it really all depends on useage.
