RITTER
Ritter Solar has rapidly established itself as the largest German manufacturer of evacuated tube collectors
The Ritter Solar evacuated tube collector consists of 3 main components
- Evacuated tubes
- CPC mirror
- Collecting box with heat transfer unit
Evacuated tubes
The tubes are composed of two concentric glass tubes that are half spherically closed on one side and fused together on the other side. The gap between the tubes is evacuated afterwards hermetically plugged
CPC mirror
In order to increase the efficiency of the evacuated tubes, a highly reflecting weather-proof CPC mirror (Compound Parabolic Concentrate)
Due to the particular mirror geometry, the power yield over the course of the day is almost constant.
Collection box with heat transfer unit
The collecting and distribution pipes are located inside the collecting box.
