Install your own solar hot water system

Silicon Solar Inc offers a variety of products provided by Sunmaxx solar which make installing a solar energy system easier and more affordable than ever before. To get started and learn more about solar hot water heating systems we have provided a list of some basic steps you will need to follow in order to get started with solar hot water technology.

Tips:

Domestic Hot water: domestic hot water is the hot water which you are using for non-space heating applications. Typically each person in a household will require 20 gallons of domestic hot water each day.

Evacuated Tube Collectors: the SunMaxx evacuated tube solar hot water heating equipment is ideal for applications where either a high water temperature is required or where the ambient temperate is below 45 degrees (during the heating season)

Flat Plate Solar Collectors: Typically we recommend using these types of collectors in warmer environments.
If you are not sure where to get started and would like to speak with a SHW representative, simply call us at 1-800-786-0329.

Steps:

  1. Sizing your solar hot water systems:
  2. Determine if your location is suitable for the installation.
  3. Determine if your roof is suitable for the weight loads of your solar collectors.
  4. Selecting and installer or installing the system yourself.
