Solar Heating

Make heat from the sun

Go small or big. Residential or Commercial. Water Heating or Space Heating

Solar heating systems are not tied the electrical grid or subject to utility connections. They simply are a liquid-based, solar-powered heat source for hot water or space heating.

Solar Heating Applications

  • Arctic Heat Pump systems and any hydronic/radiant heating

  • Small residential hot water heating

  • High-demand water heating (apartments or variety of commercial uses)

Gas or propane cannot be generated on your roof. But heat & electricity can be.

    1. Solar Heating Panels

    2. Thermal Storage Tank

    3. Circ pump and piping

    4. Solar Control

    • Solar panels collect heat

    • A thermal storage tank or buffer tank stores heat

    • A pump moves heat transfer fluid through copper piping from panels to tank

    • A controller tells pump turn to turn ON/OFF to transfer heat from panels to tank

  • To be fair, there were lot of systems installed in the late 90’s and early 2000’s that do not work and gave the technology a bad name.

    But, properly designed and installed these system last >30 years

  • Solar Heating Costs

    Residential systems are $6k to $12k.

    Commercial Systems are $10k to >30k
