The panels one-of-a-kind individual tube design. All other panels use a webbed tube design, meaning the tubes are connected together in a solid plate.
Individual tubes are better for several reasons:
Individual Tubes Create More Heat than Other Panels
Round tubes are the most efficient means of absorbing the sun's energy. The patented individual tube design allows for maximum absorption of the sun's heat all day long unlike other panels, which are most efficient only at solar noon.
Individual Tubes Protect Your Roof and Prevent Roof Rot
Unlike webbed collectors, which trap debris and moisture, these panels allow your roof to breathe. The individual tube design allows for proper evaporation of rain.
Individual Tubes Do Not Create Lift
Other solar panels use webbing between their tubes; this creates lift. To prevent their panels from flying away, other companies must use straps to hold their panels in place. Straps mean more holes in your roof and greater potential for leaks. Heliocol solar panels create no lift and require no straps!

| Plastic Panel Clamp |
 |
Other manufacturers use rubber hoses and metal clamps to connect their panels together. The people of Heliocol have created the world's only patented panel connector, the Plastic Panel Clamp. Rubber hoses require maintenance every six months and are prone to leaks. Metal clamps rust and stain the roof. Heliocol's Plastic Panel Clamps never need maintenance, never rust and are guaranteed to never leak! |

| Over-Molded Header |
 |
Every solar industry professional knows tubing connection is of crucial importance to prevent leakage over time. The patented over-moulded header insures the strongest possible connection between tubing because the header is actually formed around the tubes.This process actually joins the tubes and header together as one solid piece.
Other panels use mouldered connections or sub-plenums requiring that small holes be drilled in the header.

This less sophisticated method restricts flow and causes the pool pump to work harder. The Heliocol panel creates virtually no backpressure because every tube has its own opening in the header. Some systems require tube to header connections on-site and are prone to frequent leaking. However, every Heliocol panel is pressure tested before it leaves the factory to ensure it is perfect.
This is why Heliocol is the only product of its kind to meet "zero-defect" ISO 9002 specifications and standards.
