F.A.Q.
solar hot water
Quality Components. Our Solar Hot Water Heating Systems are designed using high quality components and each system is designed to assure that the components will operate effectively together giving you automatic, trouble free operation for years to come. The Thermo-Dynamics Ltd. G-series collector uses a unique rolled bimetal absorber that provides full surface contact between the absorber fin and the waterway. This creates high heat transfer efficiency, meaning more heated water. Also, we use an external thermosiphoning heat exchanger, which moves cold water out of the bottom of the tank and places heated water at the top of the tank, causing more heat to be exchanged to the tank water and providing usable hot water within a couple of hours of system start up in the morning. This along with an R-10 foam insulated storage tank, and PV direct drive fluid circulation makes our systems efficient, reliable, automatic and easy to maintain.
Efficiency, the key to success. The key to the successful use of a solar water heating system is to first take advantage of the many highly efficient water delivery options available today. These include low flow showerheads and front-loading washing machines for example. Using your hot water efficiently will mean you use less and save money. Also, your need for heated water can be met with a smaller and less expensive solar water heating system. For more information on efficiency please visit Efficiency Vermont for further details.
Incentives. Some benefits of installing a Solar Hot Water Heating System are:
- Reduced monthly energy bills
- using a home-based solar energy system reduces greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming
- you will produce a known quantity of hot water at a known cost, giving you peace of mind as energy prices become increasingly unstable
- choosing a solar energy system reduces the use of fossil fuels or nuclear generated electricity
- see our financial incentives page for programs available at the state or federal level which can help defray some of the costs of a solar electric system
