Solar Hot Water Systems

Fact: The earth receives more energy from the sun in just one hour than the world uses in an entire year.

Solar Energy emitted from the sun is the cleanest and most inexhaustible of all known energy sources. There are two types of solar energy; solar electric energy and solar thermal energy. Solar Thermal Energy has numerous applications, one of its most efficient being Solar Hot Water systems.

Solar Hot Water Systems can be installed within Residential, Commercial & Institutional homes and buildings. It is designed to work in combination with, not replace your existing hot water system. Solar Energy is harnessed through solar collectors, typically located on the roof of your home or building. A Solar Hot Water system can last 20+ years with the ability to pay for itself many times over.

On average in our B.C. climate, a solar hot water system will supply 50-60% of all hot water energy needs over the course of a year. This type of renewable energy system can significantly offset your fossil fuel consumption, thus decreasing your green house gas emissions, and your monthly utility bill.

Why Solar Hot Water

  • Solar Energy is free, non-taxable, and has no “system access fees”.
  • When you purchase a Solar Energy system you’re contributing to a cleaner environment. Solar Energy is non-polluting & sustainable.
  • It allows for individuals and businesses to have a direct and immediate affect on their green house gas emissions.
  • The incorporation of Solar Energy systems builds energy security.
  • When you invest in a Solar Energy System your promoting job creation in an industry, respectful of the environment.
