Solar Hot Water

HVAC Professionals

Sunworks has been recognized for outstanding expertise by our many happy customers!

Solar Domestic Hot Water (DHW) systems use the sun’s energy to heat hot water directly. 1000’s of systems were installed in the Puget Sound area in the early 1980’s as a 40% Federal Tax Credit was available along with many local incentives. Many of these systems are still operating today. With improved technology systems are now capable of capturing up to 70% of the sun’s energy and use it to heat hot water, where a photovoltaic system typically captures 15-20% of the sun’s energy.

Today, 100’s of solar domestic hot water heating systems are being installed each year as another round of Federal Tax Incentives are available to help offset the cost of a system installation. Unfortunately, these credits are due to expire December 31, 2021 so don’t wait, now is the time to install a system.

How Solar Hot Water Systems Work

A solar hot water system is really quite simple.  You’re using the sun’s energy to heat a solar panel collector full of solar fluid (or water, depending on which type of system you install), which then transfers that heat (or hot water) into your home’s hot water tank.

  • When there is sufficient heat to be drawn from the solar collectors, a controller automatically activates the pump(s).
  • Heated solar fluid then circulated from the collectors, through a heat exchanger where its heat is transferred to water in the storage tank.
  • The solar fluid is then pumped back to the collectors to once again be reheated. This circulation loop will continue as long as there is heat to be drawn from the collector.
  • During times when there is little or no sun, you electric or gas water heater will provide back-up heating to provide adequate hot water.

How Solar Pool Systems Work

A solar pooling heating system is really quite simple.  Your using the suns energy to heat a solar panel collector full of fluid (pool water in most cases), which then transfers that heated water back into your pool.

  • Using your pool pump, pool water is directed through a series of valves to the solar collectors.
  • Pool water enters the solar collectors from the bottom and rises to the top through the individual tubes of the collector.
  • As the water rises to the top of the collectors it is heated by the sun’s radiant energy.
  • The water is then returned to your pool to repeat the cycle until your pool has been warmed by the sun.
