Commercial needs for hot water can vary dramatically. Many businesses only need domestic hot water and radiant heating, and we can accommodate any installation from a small retail location to a multistory office building. Some industries rely on massive amounts of hot water usage to accomplish their service or to develop their products. A large-scale installation of GLE solar collectors will substantially improve these companies' profitability and make a considerable impact on the environment.

Between installation costs, chemicals, covers, filters, and other maintenance accessories, owning and maintaining a pool can be a costly hobby without bothering to heat it. Get the most out of your investment in a pool with the help of GLE Solar. By circulating the pool water through heat exchanger, you can enjoy an extra source of concentrated heat for your swimming experience. An installation can be optimized for a 10-15oF increase in pool temperature, or more modest increases can be achieved with a different number of collectors or a different flow rate.

Domestic hot water requires a fair amount of energy each year, but anyone who experiences a lengthy winter knows that space heating consumes far more energy. When paired with a radiant floor heating system, our solar products can extend their savings to space heating. In fact, a system designed for radiant heat should pay for itself much faster than a system only providing domestic hot water.
