Solar Heating
Make heat from the sun
Go small or big. Residential or Commercial. Water Heating or Radiant Heat
The other solar
Solar heating systems are not tied the electrical grid or subject to utility connections. They are simply a liquid-based, solar heat source for hot water or space heating.
Liquid Solar has been the regional dealer for SunEarth hardware since 2006. SunEarth is the largest manufacturer of solar heating panels in the US, and are built in Fontana, CA.

Solar Heating Costs
Tie-in to A2W systems: $3k to >10k
Residential hot water systems: $6k to $12k.
Commercial hot water systems: $10k to >30k
-
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. Liquid Solar has installed over 200 systems.

SOLAR HEATING and A2W HEAT PUMPS
Since an A2W heat pump system already has a buffer tank with outdoor-rated glycol, adding solar heating does not require an additional tank; only the panels, a pump, piping, and control.
Solar heating panels add heat directly to the buffer tank so that the heat pump works less and uses less electricity.
Best suited to heating-only heat pump systems but can also do hot water pre-heating with the use of a specific tank we can supply.
