Solar Water Heating
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How does your solar water heating system work?
Answer - Water in the solar storage tank is circulated through a roof
mounted solar panel. The solar panel absorbs the sun's heat and passes
it on to the water as it flows through the collector. The system
is automatically controlled to maintain optimum temperatures. The solar
storage tank has a back-up electrical element in case of inclement weather. Contact us for more information.
