"Solar Water Heating System..."

"Do  you  want to do something significantly positive for the environment and for your pockets at the same time?"

Did you know that you can heat water for domestic consumption without causing pollution or paying for expensive fossil fuels or electricity.

While conventional water heating appliances cost money and pollute the air, solar hot water heating uses only clean energy from the sun, it consumes no dirty fossil fuels, and it pays for itself in energy savings.

Since hot water heating accounts for one third of the average residential energy consumption, a solar system can reduce that cost by 75%, saving an average of $800.00 a year to a typical 4 member family.

Solar Water Heating Can Be Installed In Any Type Of Climate And On Any Type Of House.

Are You Prepared for Sky-rocketing Utility Bills?

Propane and Natural gas prices have doubled and tripled over the last year. Electricity rates are up. You may not be able to beat the high price of gasoline, BUT - You can sure out-wit the gas and electric companies!

Solar water heating has the greatest return on your investment and is the most efficient form of solar energy currently available. Solar is an affordable, easy way to start reducing your utility bills.

Hundreds of dollars can be saved annually with solar water heating. In general, the more hot water a household uses, the higher the benefit derived from a solar hot water system and the faster the solar investment will pay for itself.

There is no bigger long-term question facing the global community than the threat of climate change...

Surprising as it may seem, analysts believe that the annual total CO2 produced by residential water heaters throughout North America is roughly equal to that produced by all of the cars and light trucks driving around the continent.

Another way of looking at it is: If half of all households used solar water heaters, the reduction in CO2 emissions would be the same as doubling the fuel-efficiency of all cars!

Solar water heaters do not pollute...

By investing in one, you will be avoiding carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and the other air pollution and wastes created when your utility generates power or you burn fuel to heat your household water.

When a solar water heater replaces an electric water heater, the electricity displaced over 20 years represents more than 50 tons of avoided carbon dioxide emissions alone. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the upper atmosphere, thus contributing to the "greenhouse effect."

Your home is an excellent candidate for a solar water heater if, in addition to the above, it has:

• Water heater that currently consumes expensive fossil fuels or electricity.
• Occupants who enjoy long hot showers or frequent luxuriant baths.
• Appliances that require large amounts of hot water such as a dishwasher or hot tub.
• Young occupants, especially babies or teenagers.

Proven Efficient Technology

Solar Water Heating technologies are a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method of harnessing the sun's energy to provide for the energy needs of homes and businesses. It can be used for:

• space heating
• pool heating
• water heating

Solar systems obviously work on hot summer days, but they can also deliver bath temperature (40 degrees C) water on a sunny winter day when the outside temperature is -20 degrees C.

Since it has no burner and since the only moving part is the circulating pump, a solar water heater can deliver hot water for many years with a minimum of maintenance. Heating systems are designed to last 20 years and come with a longer warranty period than conventional water heating appliances.

Solar water heating systems are commonly installed in both new and existing houses, especially when renovating, and are integrated with household electricity and gas supplies

Aesthetically, the collectors are the only part of the solar heating system that is visible outside your home. Modern collectors feature sleek, low-profile design, they are attractively appointed, and they are available in various appropriate dark tones to complement a wide variety of building styles.

Inside the home, the solar heating system is completely contained in a small area, usually a mechanical or furnace room, and requires only about the same amount of space as a conventional hot water tank. Piping and wiring for the solar unit is hidden behind walls or in attic spaces, or brought subtly down an outside wall in a run of colour-matched insulated conduit.

Solar heating systems can be sized to efficiently meet the hot water demand of a single occupant home, but the most cost-effective application is in homes which consume large volumes of hot water.

High performance off-grid solar hot water at a brilliant price...

Throughout the day, a system controller compares the temperatures of the solar collectors and an indoor fluid storage reservoir. When there is enough warmth in the collectors to heat the fluid in the reservoir, the controller signals a pump to circulate a heat transfer fluid to the collectors and gather heat.

That sun-heated fluid circulates through a heat exchanger, which delivers the heat into a well-insulated indoor tank of water. From there, the solar heated water feeds into the home’s conventional hot water system as required.

A solar heating system will pay for itself in energy cost savings in three to seven years, equivalent to making 20 to 40% every year on a mutual fund investment.

Units do not freeze during a winter’s night because most units are ‘freeze protected’ with a special antifreeze which never comes into contact with the domestic water, while other models simply drain their water contents back into the indoor heat storage reservoir when the system shuts down for the night.

EVERY DAY THE SUN RISES. . . and every day you could be saving money and enjoying the revitalizing power of sun heated water...

Heating water with the sun also means long-term benefits, such as being cushioned from future fuel shortages and price increases, and environmental benefits.

A home handyman can reduce the up-front cost of a solar water heating system by installing some of the plumbing (installation costs comprise 20 to 25% of total costs). There is little or no maintenance to be done on a solar hot water system.

To take advantage of a solar water heater, your home must have an unshaded section of roof or wall, or an unshaded patch of ground close to the house.

Solar hot water heating systems can be designed into new construction or retrofit into existing homes.

You will find that there is little, if anything, for you to do once the installer has started your system and checked its operation for the first time. Properly designed solar water heaters are completely automatic and are left in operation year-round. Active systems have a small electronic control with one or more indicator lights to let you know if there is a malfunction.
