I think that they are the new evacuated tube collectors. The model numbers have to correspond exactly with the Apricus and they do not.

If you look closely under model numbers listed on Trendsetter's website there is no TS-22S and TS-30S model number.

It is confusing because there is an AP-22 and AP-30 but these are not model numbers and the numbers have to correspond exactly.

I think that the Trendsetter evacuated tube collectors TS-22S and TS-30S models are legitimate.

I think now that you are right and Trendsetter is still selling the Apricus solar collectors.


The model numbers do correspond if some of the numbers and letters are removed.


Why is Trendsetter also advertising the Apricus collectors as the Trendsetter collectors and is this legal and does Apricus know of this and approve?


I also copied this information from the 2008 Solar Direct website.
