How it works. A solar hot water system captures heat from sunlight and circulates the thermal energy to your water tank. Solar hot water systems reduce the use of fossil fuels. They do not fully replace conventional water heaters, but can provide up to 80% of a building’s total hot water needs. See how it works here.
These systems are passive and therefore practically maintenance and hassle-free and keep on working for decades.
Incentives. Solar tax credits, Alternative Energy Certificates and generous rebates are available, with higher incentives for low- and moderate-income customers. Incentives typically cover 60-80% of the system cost.
We have partnered with New England Solar Hot Water (NESHW). Their “New England Drain Back” system consists of the solar collectors on the roof, the storage tank inside your home, pump and controls, and an insulated line set that runs between the solar collectors and the storage tank. Installation usually takes a day.
