I note this model has 93% solar absorption capability. The article offers an interesting description on this system.

In fact it is very efficient, of the sun light's energy hitting the tube's surface, 93% is absorbed, whereas only 7% is lost through reflection and re-emission.

It would be good to see the independant test results on this product.
