Solar Hot Water Systems
T he first CSA certified Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water system in Canada. A unique cost-effective and affordable solar hot water heating system specifically designed for optimal all-season performance in Canada’s cold climate.
Heating domestic water using solar heating systems is the most efficient use of solar energy for both residential and commercial use.
Benefits
- Effectively produces high temperature hot water all year round even during Canada’s long cold winters
- Produces large volumes of domestic hot water with no ongoing energy costs – sunshine is free!
- Can produce hot water at up to +40°C on days as cold as -30°C
- Continues to produce hot water as long as there is sunshine outside
- Ideal for off-grid locations where hot water is produced by combusting expensive diesel in generators
- A key element in allowing off-grid communities, houses and facilities to achieve energy independence
- Environmentally friendly – does not use glycol or any chemicals
- No ongoing maintenance costs - systems normally operate problem free for years
- Renewable energy and energy conservation incentives available in some jurisdictions for some applications
- Designed in Canada for Canadian use
- Designed for 25 years of problem free continuous operation
- Modular design facilitates repairs to damage caused by vandalism or accidents
- Even if one solar heating tube is damaged, the balance of the system will continue to operate problem-free
- Comes with a limited year manufacturer’ warranty.
