SOLAR THERMAL (SOLAR WATER HEATING)

Most people are thrilled with the idea of converting sunlight into usable electricity. Solar water heating provides another money saving opportunity from solar energy.

Do you remember as a kid using a magnifying glass to concentrate the the rays of the sun so they had the intensity to burn a hole in a leaf or a piece of paper?

Solar Thermal uses the same concept. Solar water heating begins as solar collectors discreetly located on your roof concentrate solar energy and raise the temperature of the non-toxic, freeze proof liquid that flows through a closed loop system. When that liquid enters your solar hot water heater, it transfers the heat it carries to create hot water in the tank for you to use.

Solar water heating systems use sunlight to heat your hot water and reduce your current energy consumption, whether it is oil, gas, or electric.

You will still have a back-up system heat source when needed to maintain normal hot water access. The key to a succesful and complete installation includes closing the loop on your energy system. While using a utility to back up your needs, you increase your energy independence and self sufficiency with the help of the sun.

On a sunny day 2 or 3 collectors can provide all the hot water needs for an average family of four. With a system like this you could save up to 70% of your hot water energy costs.
