Product Details

Flat Plate Heat Exchanger Systems 65 Gallon: Silicon Solar offers pre-packaged solar hot water heating systems for both the do-it-yourself customer and the professional installer. Each system includes the primary components required when installing a solar hot water heating system. It is our goal to keep our product cost low to ensure that we are making renewable energy products more affordable to the community.

All systems have been tested under the highest quality standards in order to ensure the longevity of your solar heating system. If you are unsure of where to start or if you require guidance with your solar hot water heating system, please feel free to contact

Flat Plate Solar Collectors are typically more efficient in warmer climates than other Solar Collectors, but they can suffer from inefficient performance and a lack of freeze protection in colder weather. If you are in a warm climate zone, Flat Plate Solar Collectors are likely to be the most cost-effective choice for you. However, if you are in a colder climate zone you may want to instead consider a system based around our SunMaxx Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors.

Hot Water Production (DHW):

Each system is designed to produce 65 plus gallons of domestic hot water per day in a colder climate. The system will produce more hot water in warmer climates, which receive additional insolation. Please note that hot water temperatures are designed to reach 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
