Harnessing Solar Power for Hot Water
Heating your water with solar energy makes sense. The technology is affordable, hassle free and environmentally friendly. Sunnovations’ technology captures solar energy to heat a transfer-fluid, which heats water by convection. The solar cells require no external energy, using gravity to transfer heated water down to your water heater. This process eliminates on of your homes most costly energy expenditures, and results in energy savings across the board.
