SOLAR HOT WATER
Solar hot water is an extremely cost effective way
to reduce energy bills.
It is often more cost effective than solar electricity. So much so that it
needs no government subsidies to make it affordable.
Domestic hot water can account for 25% of the average home
energy cost. So it makes sense to seek ways to reduce its cost.
Note: We now install SunMaxx evacuated tube collector
systems. These are highly efficient because they employ the principal of a
vacuum being a perfect insulator. It is like putting your solar absorber inside
a thermos bottle. Plus they utilize a "heat pipe", a form of passive heat pump
for wicking the sun's heat up into a heat exchanger to be taken by antifreeze to
the water heater tank. For more info on these check out
Silicon Solar
This system uses no utility power. It is therefore good for off grid
sites requiring stand alone systems. It is also good where frequent power
outages might occur or simply to further reduce your energy bill.
This system contains non-toxic propylene glycol antifreeze
for protection against freezing in the collectors.

space heating options available. If you qualify State and Federal tax credits
apply. This pricing was last updated 12/12/2009.
Here is another simple Solar water heating system by Great Brook
Solar NRG LLC, The drain back system.:
Freeze protection is accomplished by simply allowing the water in the
collector to drain back into the solar heat storage tank. No expensive
antifreeze requiring periodic maintenance is required. Simplicity means lower
cost. Lower cost means higher return on the investment or faster payback.
we can
install one for you for about $7500 to $9900 (family of four) that will save
you about 60% of your hot water bills. Other size systems available.
