OUR solar heating systems.
click the image for larger size. We sell the controller/pump and the solar manifold/collector above. You use your existing water tank, plumb the solar collector into your existing hot water system and always have reliable hot water. When the solar collector makes hot water you use no hydro, when there is not enough sun to do so , or at night, you heat your water with electricity. Payback for a typical collector/kit is 2-3 years, depending on your consumption, it may pay for itself in less time. |

stainless steel manifold, clean and rust free. Good for roof or wall mount to avoid snow damage in winter climates. |
all stainless steel construction built to last for years! no rust ! Simple design allows tube replacement by removing each tube individually, without disturbing the rest of the unit. |
copper end never actually touches any water. The reflector is built right in. These tubes reach temperatures over 180F in less then 5 minutes in direct sun. |
the copper end of the heat tube inserts into a copper "seat". That transfers the heat into the water in the manifold or tank. |
By using this method the tube could be broken or removed and the tank or manifold will not leak. |
these copper ends reach temperatures over 180F in less then 5 minutes! |
our super tubes are much larger then the standard evacuated tube. We sell both types . |
