Solar thermal systems are the most cost-effective renewable energy source out there (apart from reducing your energy usage through efficiency).
As with any solar energy technology, it's important that you have either roof space or yard space that will allow panels to be oriented toward the southern sky and unobstructed by shadows.
Solar thermal can be your home's sole source of heat or can be tied into an existing gas-fired boiler as a preheater to conserve fuel.

Typically the system includes panels on your roof in which water or glycol is heated, an insulated water tank for storing the heat and a computerized set of valves to move the hot water to where it's needed. There are several types of types of solar hot water systems available including flat plate, evacuated tube, passive and active. We work with all of them because each type has its benefits and drawbacks in different situations. |
