1) Solar radiation is absorbed by the solar tubes and converted into heat
2) Heat pipes then conduct the heat within the solar tube to the header pipe
3) Water is circulated through the heater, via intermittent pump cycling
4) Each time when water circulates through the heater the temperature is raised by 5 to 10°C (9 to 18°F)
5) Throughout the day, the water in the storage tank is gradually heated
