Solar Hot Water Systems
Set Fuel now installs the Smart Solar System by Energy Kenetics! This system is a highly efficient system that uses all available heat from the sun.
- The average home’s annual cost for hot water is around $1300 at today’s energy costs.
- With an Energy Kenetics system, you will cut your fuel use by 40% or more and significantly reduce your bill!
- The Energy Kenetics system is quiet, efficient, and compact!
- The Energy Kenetics system is ENERGY STAR® approved.
- It is good for the environment which is becoming more and more important to a lot of people.
- There are Federal and State rebates available for solar hot water systems for up to 50% of the cost of the installation!
But What Do The Solar Panels Look Like?
The Smart Solar hot water system uses flat 3 inch high solar panel collectors which resemble skylights on your roof. Many people are switching to solar hot water systems! Here is an example of some solar panels that Set Fuel has installed in Islip on Main Street at Racine’s Salon. The salon now runs on an Energy Kenetics hot water system!
How Does The System Work?
Solar water heating is simple: the sun’s free and renewable energy heats your household water. Solar thermal water heating can be used for water heating, space heating, and pool heating. Harnessing this free solar energy will deliver summertime savings of 85% and winter savings of 35% for a year-round savings of up to 60% on your utility hot water heating bill!
Solar Collector The absorber plate is designed to absorb 94% of the sun’s energy.
Reliable in all climates. Freeze protected. Patented Stagnation Protection eliminates overheating. Mounts on sloped or flat roofs, south facing walls, outbuildings or a ground rack.
Energy Pack Mounts easily on any standard North American electric hot water tank which acts as a solar storage tank. Patented Passive Anti-Fouling Protection ensures maintenance-free, reliable operation of the heat exchange.
Solar Storage Tank Stores solar heated water for household use. Water stored in the tank is heated by the sun, not electricity. Standard two port North American electric hot water tank.
The copper tubing in the Smart Solar collector is a continuous serpentine loop; there are no internal connection points or brazing points to fail. By design, the collector is thermally sealed from the elements so ambient temperature and winds only have a nominal impact on collector performance. Given the same solar conditions, the Smart Solar collector performs as well in the winter as the summer. In fact, the cold winter ground water increases the appliances’ heat transfer because the temperature difference is actually higher in winter than summer.
