Product Details

Flat Plate Pre Packaged Systems 50 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 in order to ensure that we are making renewable energy products more affordable to the smart consumer.

All systems have been tested under the highest quality standards 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 a solar hot water specialist at 1-888-SOLAR-11.

Flat Plate Solar Collectors are typically more efficient in warmer climates than other solar collectors. 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 should consider a system utilizing our SunMaxx Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors.
