Skyline Solar Collectors

Solar Hot Water

The suns energy is harnessed through solar collector panels, and transferred into the non-toxic heat exchanging agent then circulated through coils in the storage tank. This provides hot water for washing, cooking, and radiant heating. In a residential application, the home owner's existing hot water heater provides an auxiliary heating source with the solar heated water meeting the primary demand and providing a significant annual energy savings. The water heater does not affect the quality of hot water produced, nor does the speed at which the water is heated. Actually the water heater has a longer life and less maintenance.

Solar hot water heating is an affordable, reliable, and environmentally friendly alternative for home owners and commercial applications
