Solar water heating systems can reduce most of the energy required
for domestic hot water in homes or businesses. Solar thermal is
the cheapest, most practical form of renewable energy. Because
the solar collector (panel) is so efficient, absorbing 70% of the
sun’s energy, it is a low cost per watt energy system. Solar
Thermal works for almost everyone, and should be one of the first
renewable energy options considered.
Domestic
hot water is the second-highest energy cost in the typical
household. In fact, for some homes it can be the highest energy
expenditure. Solar water heating can now reduce your domestic
water heating costs by as much as 65%.
The
Solar Boiler is designed for automatic daily and year round
operation. A non-toxic glycol solution in the solar collectors
eliminates winter freezing problems. A photovoltaic module
regulates the proper daily operation of the Solar Boiler and
the solar loop circulator turns on only when the panels are
hot enough to heat the solar tank.

Light
from the sun strikes the solar collector and heats the black
metal Sunstrip absorber underneath the glass cover. This heat
is transferred to a non-toxic anti-freeze solution (propylene
glycol and water) that is pumped through the collector and
returns to the Solar Boiler.
The
hot glycol then transfers heat to the water in the storage
tank via the Solar Boiler 's heat exchanger. The water is heated
repeatedly in this fashion, until the solar tank is hot.
The
Solar Boiler is used as a pre-heater in conjunction with your
conventional heating system. Cold water enters the Solar Boiler
for initial heating, and is then delivered to the backup or
conventional heating system for final heating as required.
The conventional system is typically fueled by oil, electricity,
propane, natural gas, etc...
Conventional
energy requirements can be reduced substantially by using the
Solar Boiler, and on many days the Solar Boiler will provide
ample hot water without the backup (conventional) heater turning
on.
