Solargain s 300l slimline roof mount solar hot water heaters are traditional close coupled thermosiphon systems combining an aesthetically pleasing low profile tank which makes solargain the choice for energy efficient hot water heating. Install solar collectors on the roof installation of solar water tanks and heat exchangers installation of water pipes install the controls.

The water then continues on to the conventional backup water heater providing a reliable source of hot water. Cold water first passes through the solar collector which preheats the water. Solahart s split system solar water heaters are designed to give you the maximum. Solahart roof mounted tank systems save space at ground level and their.

Split system solar hot water. It works on the simple scientific fact that hot water rises. Systems with a roof mounted tank tend to be a bit less expensive than split systems and electric boosted systems tend to be less expensive to buy than gas boosted systems. Electric or gas boosted solar hot water traditional type solar hot water system with the tank also on the roof stainless steel tank for lighter lifting on the roof high density polyurethane insulation very efficient economical to install and low maintenance improved running efficiency and reduced.

It is not recommended for use in frost or poor water chemistry areas. Solahart heat pump water heaters. The basic steps of a solar water heating system are. While in the case of flat plate systems the tank may also be on the roof.

Heat pump hot water systems range in price from about 2700 to 5000 fully installed. Solahart hot water thermosiphon roof mounted solar hot water.
