THE ADVANTAGES
GREENLAND SYSTEMS SOLAR COLLECTORS

Solar energy provides an ecological and economical alternative to fossil fuels.
Just how economical, depends largely on the real-life performance of the collector.
Collector’s real performance is measured on its year-round output, rather than merely on its performance during the most favourable summer conditions.
GreenLand Systems solar collectors will out-perform most solar collectors in all climatic conditions. Superior performance under unfavourable operating conditions of cold ambient air temperature and of low solar intensity significantly sets GreenLand Systems solar collectors apart from most other solar collectors on the market.
GreenLand Systems solar collectors represent the very peak of current solar collector technology.

Thermal Monitor
Left: flat-plate collector
Right: tube collector |
The thermal monitor reveals better insulation of vacuum tubes. It shows that there is a lot of heat energy emit from the flat panel solar panel.
A further special feature of GreenLand Systems solar collector is a "Heat Diode".
This feature will prevent any heat loss from the heated fluid situated in the manifold into the solar absorber, under conditions of low solar intensity, or when solar intensity is zero, as during the night time.
ABSORB SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF AVAILABLE SOLAR ENERGY AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY
From early morning to late afternoon, when solar input angle changes considerably PT ( Passive Tracking ) type vacuum tubes used in GreenLand Systems solar collectors maximise the solar input as the solar incidence angle changes due to the Sun's travels across the sky.
ADJUST THE INSTALLED ANGLE OF SOLAR ABSORBING ELEMENTS IN AN OPTIMUM DIRECTION
The angle must be adjusted when the platform is not in an optimised location. Optimum direction of the absorber in the southern hemisphere is north-facing. Vacuum tubes in the GreenLand Systems solar collector can be rotated so that the optimum orientation is achieved when the installation platform is not facing in the optimum direction.
UTILISE HIGH PROPORTION OF AVAILABLE SOLAR ENERGY WHEN THIS ENERGY IS ONLY AVAILABLE INTERMITTENTLY, FOR RELATIVELY SHORT PERIODS EACH TIME
Extremely low total thermal mass of GreenLand Systems solar collector's heated components, and only a very small fluid capacity of the collector ensure very fast thermal response.
INSTALLATION OF GREENLAND SYSTEMS SOLAR COLLECTOR IS A ONE PERSON JOB
Other collectors require a team of people, cranes and structural considerations to achieve installation.
EASY MAINTENANCE
GreenLand Systems solar vacuum tubes are guaranteed for fifteen years. The collector remains operational without fluid leakage in the event of a Vacuum Tube failure. Changing a GreenLand Systems Vacuum Tube is as easy as changing a globe.
The best performance of GreenLand Systems solar collectors under even most unfavourable operating conditions is accomplished by careful attention to design of all parts of the collector.
