Solar heating systems have made it possible for any individual to eliminate the high financial and environmental expenses tied to traditional hot water heat. You may ask yourself exactly how sun rays can efficiently heat your water, year round.

Most solar collectors work by using the sun’s rays to heat up either water, or an antifreeze/propylene glycol mixture and circulate these fluids under your solar panels glass surface. Solar collectors are extremely sensitive, and even under low light conditions, the sun’s rays are still collected and stored. After the water is heated and circulated, the hot water is pumped into a water container where it heats up your domestic water in a process called “conduction”

Most solar heating systems (under reasonably sunny conditions) can fulfill in excess of 70% of an average households hot water needs.
