Solar generated hot water all year long!

Larry Richardson, Vice President of Sales

As solar heating domestic hot water systems gain in popularity, we are seeing ever increasing interest in the simple EagleSun™ drainback system by AET. The solar industry tells us that we can expect to generate about 70% of our hot water needs on an annual basis. Better still, if the sun refuses to shine in January, the system has a backup electric element so that there is always hot water available. Even on the cloudiest day, the sun still emits energy that will preheat the water so the backup element uses less energy.

The components of a solar water heating system: Solar collector- absorbs solar radiation through the copper fins heating the water inside the collector Drainback reservoir with heat exchanger and a sight glass Storage tank with backup element stores the heated water until you need it Circulation pump circulates the water through the system Controller and sensors Placement of the collector panels that look similar to skylights South facing and not shaded Exposure to sunlight for 6 hours minimum Increased Federal tax credits, generous NYS Tax credits and a real property tax break make this an investment for many home owners better than can be gained in most banks. For more information about estimated costs and paybacks go to solar-estimate.org Since the sunshine is available for free, there are no energy price hikes. Solar water heating is a simple clean cost effective way to heat your water. The average family uses 20 gallons of hot water per person daily. Solar water heating can accumulate into substantial savings.

The uses of solar hot water heating is unlimited: hotels, schools, apartment complexes, campgrounds, hospitals, laundries, car washes, poultry farms, summer camps and pool heating. There are many agricultural applications: crop drying, green houses, dairy processing, aqua culture and food processing.
