The different types of solar water heaters work in every climate but some are better suited and more efficient in certain climates. Below are Solar Direct's recommendations. The PASSIVE SYSTEM is the most cost efficient water heater and it works well in the entire area shown above. This system should be the only logical choice for the southern states as it provides 80-90% of solar water heating needs in the darker area shown above, 60 to 70% in moderate climate areas and 50% in the northern colder states.
Plug into the sun for FREE energy! Become energy independent, reduce your utility bills, protect yourself against blackouts and reduce environmental pollution! Solar Electric (or Solar PV) systems convert sunlight to electricity. The systems consist of modules - or solar panels - inverter, charger and batteries. The PV modules generate DC electricity and send it to the inverter, the inverter transforms DC power into AC electricity and regulates the charge of batteries. The batteries store electricity that can be used at night or during blackouts.
Improving your home's energy efficiency will help you reduce your utility bills and reduce your impact on the environment. If you are planning on getting a solar system, making your home energy-efficient will help you reduce the solar system size needed and the cost.

There are three basic types of pool heaters. The best system for your pool is determined by numerous factors including your needs, desires, budget and physical layout of the pool and house. A good choice when pool water must quickly be warm during any condition. Gas Heaters typically last 5 years or more. Due to the high operating temperature inside a gas heater, maintenance may be more frequent, and major repairs can be costly. We also offer toll free product selection assistance or installation services at 800-333-9276 or if you prefer to inquire online you can submit our quick information request form.
Solar Pool Heating is one of the simplest yet the most cost-effective use of solar energy in many climates. Water is pumped from the pool to the solar collectors where the water is warmed by the sun. The warm water is then pumped back into the swimming pool allowing you to enjoy your pool for many months, and in some areas all year long. Some systems include sensors and an automatic or manual valve to divert water through the collector(s) when the collector temperature is sufficiently greater than the pool temperature.
