Solar Thermal (Hot Water) Panel Systems
A hot water solar panel is a solar water heater that uses the sun's energy to heat liquid. This heated liquid is transferred from the panels, to a heat storage vessel, such as a solar storage tank. These panels are normally mounted on a roof, but can also be ground mounted.
There are two types of solar thermal panels. One is a flat plate collector and the other is an evacuated tube collector. A properly sized system in Pennsylvania can provide approximately 60 to 70% of the energy required for domestic hot water in a residence or business. The payback period for a solar thermal system can vary depending on the type and cost of energy that the client is currently using to heat their domestic hot water.
Incentives are available to install renewable energy systems. Click the link on the top right of this page to learn more.
Solar Swimming Pool Heating
An outdoor solar pool heating system is inexpensive to install compared to other renewable energy systems. To heat an indoor pool we must use the above solar thermal panels that can collect solar energy year round. The panels for the outdoor pools are a high density black plastic, light in weight and will last many years.
