Hi Ozak, WeiKee,
Went to MicroSolar 'showroom'. It's actually a very old house in ss14, sadly quite rundown too.
I am a bit concerned about the reliability of the supplier.

Can you help explain why you think MicroSolar is still the best?
They pass me a bunch of brochures which looks more technical than what I can understand.

This 1 we said, good thing don't show you easlly.
It is site double storey house right? They told me this is account office.
Anyway, for solar heater most important thing to look for is the efficiency to generate hot water. How hot the water can generate from the lowest enviroment temperature. Let say that day is rainy day with outside temperature is 25c. Your solar heater that day can boil the water to 50c from the 25c enviroment. That is 100% efficiency. Another efficiency is the water temperature. A cold water maybe 15c can boil up to 60c or higher on rainy day.
If that solar heater can generate 90c water from 0c temperature enviroment, I buy the heater back and put it at my hall to pray it as a god.
We need hot water during cool day and cool water during hot day. But solar heater is opposite. So efficiency is important.
Another thing is, if the solar heater is efficiency enough, you don't need backup heater to stick inside the tank. All the brand accept microsolar have a backup heater incase no hot water during rainy day. Does that tell me the heater is not efficiency enough.
This pictuer tell you a thousand word. -->
http://www.microsolarsystem.com/ Why a resort on top of the mount kinabalu will choose this solar heater? Can this heater generate hot water enough in the enviroment which the whole day is damn cold ? This solar heater don't have electrical heater to backup somemore.
Microsolar have pattern technology on their product. They got 1 technology inside the tube which increase the temperature efficiency compare others. Because of this pattern, others brand local cannot copy and adopt into their product. That make the different.
Hope you can understand the techincal explain.
