The ideal solar system for cooler climates
With passive tracking
and evactuated insulation, there is no better way to
capture heat from the sun than with the Apricus Solar
collector by Generation PV.
Just about anyone can make a solar collector that works when it’s hot outside and the sun is directly overhead. But what if the temperature drops outside, or you have a cloudy day? Apricus collectors are specifically designed for these conditions and will supply more heat than the competition when the going gets tough.
We only supply the best products available. They will work for you all year round and won't break the bank.
Take advantage of
evacuated tube and heat pipe technology for high
efficiency and reliability!
Apricus collectors offers many advantages over many other thermal solar collectors.
Manufactured in line with ISO9001:2000 quality management requirements, and meeting SRCC, Solarkeymark and AS2712 requirements, Apricus collectors are a quality choice for your home or commercial application!

Apricus Collector
Excellent Cold Weather Performance
Apricus collectors can perform well even in freezing conditions thanks to thick glass wool insulation and the vacuum insulated evacuated tubes. This is in contrast to flat plate collectors that perform poorly in cold conditions.
Passive Sun Tracking
Apricus collectors are designed with a round absorber surface that can passively track the sun throughout the day. This means more stable heat output throughout the day, not just at midday. The tubes are also spaced close together to minimise light loss between the tubes, and eliminate the need for a reflective panel.
Freeze Protected Heat Pipes
Apricus heat pipes are designed to withstand freezing without damage, which means that the collector can operate in very cold regions.
All Stainless Steel Mounting Frames
Stainless steel provides strength and corrosion resistance, and is used for all Apricus collector frame components.
Special Sprung Heat Pipe Design
Apricus has developed a special spring assembly design to ensure heat pipes are kept firmly in contact with the header pipe within the manifold. Tighter contact means faster heat transfer which is key for high collector efficiency.
