Solar Hot Water
A solar hot water system consists of a few main components: collectors, pump, storage tank, and controller. Collectors, placed on the roof, capture the sun’s energy and transfer it to a heat exchange fluid. A small pump circulates the fluid back to a storage tank. Water in the storage tank is heated up and the system is operated by a small controller.
We offer a turnkey system supplied by Schuco. Schuco is a German company with a long history in the solar hot water industry. They feature a very mature product line which includes their fourth generation solar collector. They offer an attractive solution for systems of any size.
