How Solar Hot Water Works
-
Light and heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the collector.
-
A separated closed loop of nontoxic antifreeze fluid is pumped through the collector to the heat exchanger located in the house where the heat is transferred.
-
The heat exchanger allows the heat from the antifreeze to be transferred to the potable water in the home.
-
The preheated water is stored in a solar storage tank throughout the day to assist your existing hot water heater.
-
The entire process is fully automated and closely monitored to insure safe and efficient operation for years to come.
Solar hot water has the highest return on investment of any renewable energy technology and has proven reliability. A single solar system can reduce your homes green house gas emissions by one tonne per year. By installing a solar hot water system your family can feel proud knowing that they have done their part to protect the environment and by demonstrating to others that we all can make a positive change and fight against climate change.
