Sunstar DF 120

Our direct flow collector Sunstar DF 120/6 is a stylish mega vacuum tube for a design-oriented facade solution. This vacuum tube collector captivates not only by its unusual size – its almost 3 m long and 120 mm big glass tubes combine efficiency and design at the same time.

Key data:

  • Tube diameter 120 mm
  • Fully evacuated collector with direct flow through
  • The stylish mega vacuum tube
  • The design collector for facades
  • Maximum performance (up to 889 kWh/m2 according to www.spf.ch test)
  • The absorber can be adjusted to an optimised angle to the sun
  • High low light yields with fast reaction
  • Very high yields in cold environments (winter)
