Solar Water Heating


Solar Water Heating (SWH)

Although a variety of solar hot water systems are available, the basic technology is simple. A collector absorbs and transfers heat from the sun to water, which is stored in a tank until needed. Active solar heating systems use circulating pumps and controls, which are more expensive but are also typically more efficient. Passive systems work without added equipment.
Solar hot water systems can be cost-competitive when they reduce electricity consumption tied to hot water generation. Our solar hot water system reduces the need for conventional water heating by two-thirds.
