An evacuated tube solar collector is similar to a flat plate solar collector but the metal tubes are replaced with glass tubes. These glass tubes are encapsulated, one by one, in another glass tube between which a vacuum is created as insulation. These types of thermal solar panels have higher performance but their cost is higher. 3.
