The British Eco evacuated tubes system.
With a series of round tubes on a south facing roof, you maximize the heat conversion as the sun is at the best angle to the surface of the tube for much of the day. This means that you get more hot water, quicker from the suns rays.

Evacuated tube collectors is a way in which heat loss to the environment inherent in flat plates, has been reduced. Since heat loss due to convection cannot cross a vacuum, it forms an efficient isolation mechanism to keep heat inside the collector pipes. Since two flat sheets of glass are normally not strong enough to withstand a vacuum, the vacuum is rather created between two concentric tubes.

Typically, the water piping in an evacuated tube collector is therefore surrounded by two concentric tubes of borosilicate glass with a vacuum in between that admits heat from the sun (to heat the pipe) but which limits heat loss back to the environment. The inner tube is coated with a thermal absorbent.

Flat plate collectors are generally more efficient than evacuated tube collectors in full sunshine conditions. However, the energy output of flat plate collectors drop off rapidly in cloudy or cool conditions compared to the output of evacuated tube collectors that decrease less rapidly.

7 things you should remember about solar systems:
From April 2011 the Government is hoping to introduce cash back for energy produced by solar thermal collectors. This could be around £350 per annum for the next 20 years!
These tubes will generate hot water even when the sun is not shining
