Solar Hot Water 101

Solar water heating uses the sun's free energy to heat the water in your home.

A: The sun heats a solar fluid in the panels mounted on your roof. The fluid gets hot and flows down to a solar tank (C).

B: A sensor detects that the panels are hot and regulates the flow of solar fluid through the system.

C: The fluid heats water in the tank through a heat exchanger.

D: The hot water from the solar tank flows into your existing tank. Since the water is already hot, the gas heater only needs to function about 20% of the time, saving you the money you would have spent on natural gas or electricity.


A recent study sponsored by PG&E found that solar water heating can save more natural gas than any other home improvement.

California’s demand for imported natural gas continues to increase, causing prices to rise.

Solar Water Heating is what we do.

We are experts on solar water heating, making sure that our clients receive the best that this green technology has to offer. There are many choices to be made in shifting toward a more sustainable lifestyle... installing a solar water heater should come first. Why?...

Solar water heaters offset the largest amount of carbon emissions for the lowest cost.

And unlike solar electricity, water heating will always be done most efficiently in the home. So why continue to waste money paying more for utilities? Federal incentives will pay for 30% of your installation and there are other incentives available as well: If you are a California resident, you can also receive up to $1,500 for your installation through the California Solar Water Heating Incentive Program administered by the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE).

We design and install the best systems quickly and always with your specific needs in mind. Whether you want to make a positive impact on the environment or simply stop wasting money on your utility bills, our friendly and knowledgable staff will help you.
