Evacuated Tube or Flat plate panels?

Does anyone have any opinions/experience of which is better in terms of cost/ suitable to cloudier Irish climate/ maintenance/ longevity etc?

Any recommendations on good company to purchase and install?

Thanks

I'm sorry but that has to be the laziest comment i have ever read :) No offence meant but are you actually asking other people to read a 5 page document and then summarise it to give you a YES/NO answer?

If i was to say 'YES' for instance - would you then act on that or would you feel the need to read the article anyway?

FYI...The article is 5 pages long but has page numbers from 36-40.

Interesting reading for me: with 3 panels and 300 litre tank - yet to move in to my house - but was all excited about my 57 degrees heat most evenings. Ah well - the novelty factor is worth the 5k :)

So thats Air to Water, Geothermal, Wood Pellet and Solar that are far from perfect in their operation and efficiency at the moment. I suppose its only to be expected that these things take time to mature.

With money-no-object I suppose a combination of these would be a good option. Air to Water seems to work but needs electricity so if in 10 years time, the cost of home windturbines come down, a system with air-to-water powered by a wind turbine - in combination with solar might be suitable for the irish climate.

Then again - i could have knocked 500 sq ft off my house and done it now. The constant question of payback vs oil needs to be forgotten about in my opinion.
