Solar Hot Water

Solar Hot Water: The Other Solar Energy

If you say “solar power”, most people think of solar electric. But we’re also very fond of “the other solar energy” – solar hot water. New England Clean Energy designs and installs hot water systems that work with your existing hot water heater, whether it uses oil, gas, electricity or propane for fuel. Our systems can also be integrated with on-demand (tankless) water heaters or indirect fired water heaters.

Solar hot water is non-polluting, doesn’t use fossil fuels, and gives you hot water at a price you know will not go up. Hot water systems require fewer panels and cost less than solar electric systems, and are more shade-tolerant.

Systems typically cover two-thirds of your home’s annual hot water usage for showering, bathing, dishwashing and clothes washing. (These systems should not be confused with solar space heating systems or other home heating systems.)

We’ve been installing and repairing solar hot water systems since 2006, and have seen every kind of system out there. You’ll find other companies selling solar hot water systems, but we are one of the few solar specialists doing this work. Give us a call to discuss your energy and cost-saving goals. We’d love to hear from you.
