Solar energy is used to heat the home and provide domestic hot water.
Pipes running through solar collectors on the roof heat water which is circulated from a 2000-gallon underground tank. When the house needs heating, the water passes through a heat exchanger which extracts heat and blows it through ducts to warm the house. An electric heat pump serves as a backup system. Normally, solar energy takes care of 80 percent of the hot-water energy requirement. For more information please enter your email address and click the Request Information button.
