Solar Thermal Energy

As long as there is adequate access to unobstructed sunlight, solar thermal energy can be created by absorbing the heat of the sun with devices such as flat-plate solar-energy collectors.  A heat transfer fluid passes through tubes within the solar collectors where it is warmed and then distributed to the appropriate heating system. 

 

Solar thermal hot water heating systems circulate a non-toxic glycol solution through the solar collectors allowing installation in both warm and cool climates. In addition to the solar collectors on the roof or ground, a pre-engineered pumping system and storage are added to your existing mechanical system. This simple technology has been around for over 100 years and the systems have been proven to last for over 100 years. Our systems have been proven to last over 25 years, equivalent to your conventional water heaters or boilers.

Flexible solar collectors use the heat of the sun to warm the water, reducing or eliminating the need to use the boiler in summer, thus saving natural gas and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
