How much carbon dioxide can an Apricus collector save?

 

Installing an Apricus solar collector can help reduce your carbon emissions. When using solar heating we offset the use of conventional electric or gas water heating. The diagram below shows how much CO2 can be saved with an Apricus solar hot water system. 

 

Here we can see with each collector size the equivalent number of trees to be planted to obtain the same annual CO2 reductions.

 

 

As an example a 30 tube Apricus solar collector, which is the most common size for the average household, can save as much as 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per annum, about 2/3 of what the average car produces per year.

 

When combined with other conscientious lifestyle measures, a significant reduction in your total carbon footprint can easily be achieved.
