We use FAFCO products for the solar hot water heaters
Heating household water is one of Americans’ biggest energy expenses. A FAFCO system reduces water heating costs by up to 50% or more in some applications. Plus, it qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit.
A FAFCO solar hot water system adds value to your home the moment it’s installed, and it’s an investment that keeps paying dividends. Protect yourself from rising energy costs with free, abundant energy and a FAFCO solar hot water system that provides virtually maintenance-free service backed by a 10-year worry-free collector warranty.
FAFCO solar hot water systems are designed to operate automatically, gathering the sun’s energy when available. When solar energy is unavailable, the system turns itself off and the hot water is stored in your water tank until it is needed.
how it works:
- Solar collector panels—made of durable, lightweight, ultraviolet-resistant, polymer material—are designed specifically for hot water heating.
- When solar energy is available, collector panels heat water pumped through the solar loop.
- A heat exchanger transfers heat from the solar loop to water in your storage tank where it is available for all household needs. Water in the two loops never mixes.
- When not in operation, the water in the solar collectors drains back into the wall-mounted drainback tank to prevent water from freezing inside the solar collector panels.
Product Options
FAFCO solar water heating solutions are designed to work with electric, natural gas or tankless (instantaneous) water heaters. Your current system and hot water requirements will determine the configuration of your solar hot water system. Your FAFCO dealer will design the system that best suits your needs.
- A single-tank configuration is standard for installations with an electric water heater. However, a dual-tank configuration, which includes a dedicated solar hot water tank, is an option and may be desirable for large families or homes where additional hot water capacity is desired.
- A dual-tank configuration is required for installations with a gas water heater. One of the tanks is used to hold just the water heated by the solar collectors.
