Solar Domestic Water Heating
You use hot water every day. A solar domestic water heater uses solar energy to heat the water that you use for dishwashing, showers, laundry, etc. Utilizing an antifreeze solution pumped through the solar loop - connecting the solar thermal collectors to an insulated water storage tank - heat is transferred through a heat exchanger to the water in the solar storage tank. The cold water, that normally enters your water heater when you pull hot water, is diverted to the solar storage tank to be heated by the sun. Now, when you draw water from your water heater - instead of cold water entering your water heater - solar heated water is drawn from the solar storage tank, and your water heater will not have to put fire to the water. We have several design configurations that can be optimized to your specific needs. Learn more on how it works.
Solar Air Heating
A solar air heater uses solar energy to directly heat the air in your home. A fan draws air from your home into a solar air collector. The air flows over an absorber plate that is heated by the sun. The hot air is put back into your home to keep you comfortable. Learn more on how it works.
Solar PV
A solar PV system uses energy from sunlight to generate electricity. Solar panels generate DC electricity (similar to that from a battery). An inverter converts the DC electricity to the AC electricity used in your home. By combining multiple panels together, a solar PV system can generate 20-75% of the electricity you used to buy from the utility. Whenever your system generates more electricity than you use, it flows backwards through the meter and you get credit from the utility! Learn more on how it works.
Solar-based Radiant Heating
Solar systems match up perfectly with radiant heating systems. Radiant heating systems consist of tubes of hot fluid flowing underneath flooring, in your walls, or in your ceiling. This is the ultimate in heating comfort; providing uniform, steady warmth. Similar to a solar domestic water heater, heat collected by solar collectors is stored in a solar storage tank filled with water. Heat from the solar storage tank is used to preheat the fluid flowing into the boiler, reducing the need to purchase fossil fuel energy.
Swimming Pool Heating
The pool water is drawn into the solar collectors (made of black polymer) using the pool's circulating pump. The heated pool water is sent back to the pool. Adding a solar pool heater can reduce energy costs of your conventional pool heater by over 75%. If your pool is not heated today, you will find that you will spend more time pool by adding a solar pool heater because it will provide comfortable temperatures on sunny days.
