Solar Hot Water Heaters

              Solar Hot Water Heaters < a cost of effective way to generate hot water for your home. They can be used in any climate and uses free energy--the sun! We offer everything needed for the Solar Hot Water Heater systems from solar water storage tanks and controllers to the evacuated tubes and flat plate collectors.

              Silicon Solar Inc is the home of the SunMax evacuated solar tube collectors. Evacuated tubes feature parallel rows of transparent glass tubes. The outer glass tube and the metal absorber tube is attached to a fin that absorbs solar energy but averts radiative heat loss. These collectors are used more frequently for U.S. commercial applications. Commercial applications include laundromats, car washes, military laundry facilities and eating establishments. Offering the latest in evacuated tube technology, we continue to provide the industries most affordable, cost effective and reliable sustainable products.

              Flat plate collectors are insulated, weatherproofed boxes that contain a dark absorber plate under one or more glass or polymer covers. The general use of these collectors are for residential buildings.

              Solar hot water Controllers control the switching on and off of the solar pump as a function of the collector and storage temperature.

             Most Solar how water heaters need a well-insulated Tank. Tanks have an inlet and outlet, allowing the heated water to enter the tank and exit when needed. Silicon Solar offers the best and most-efficient tanks.

All of Silicon Solar Inc advanced solar heating products offer high quality and customer value. With products designed for both commercial and residential applications, Silicon Solar Inc remains focused in offering the industries leading products and services.

Although the initial cost of a Solar Hot Water Heater is greater than for conventional water heating systems such as electric or gas systems, the life-cycle cost of a solar system is actually 20% lower than a conventional one. This is because the other systems carry the added costs of electricity or gas, where the energy of the sun is free. If you are building a new home and you choose to incorporate a a Solar Hot Water System, your savings can be even more, since the cost of the system can be included in the mortgage.
