FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How does your solar hot 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.
