Solar Hot Water Collectors

Solar Hot Water

We offer passive and active solar equipment for space heat and hot water. Passive means no extra power needed to transport the heated water from the collector on the roof to the faucet--these systems are called "batch collectors". This process is accomplished via gravity. On the other hand, the active solar system has a pump to circulate the water from the hot water tank inside the house up to the hot water collector and back down to the tank. The pump may be powered by a photovoltaic (PV) pump to make the system zero cost. Space heat varies from the most efficient re-circulating freeze protection system to anti-freeze and drain-back systems. For more in-depth analysis on the types of hot water systems please click here.  The U.S. Environment Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR PROGRAM supports Solar Hot Water Heater.  The EPA states that Solar Hot Water Heaters can save you 50% to 100% of your hot water needs.  To read this document click on the following link EPA Suports Solar Hot Water. Our hot water collector can be utilized in pool heating systems to extend the summer season. We offer, design, implement and service any of the above systems.
