You should know that all solar water heating systems are capable of delivering both higher temperature water than your current hot water heater and a greater more water volume you’re your current conventional water heaters.  Solar water heaters typically heat between 40 to 80 gallons more water than your current conventional water heaters.

One of the most oft asked questions concerns the ability of the sun to heat the water.  Water heated by the sun can reach temperatures exceeding 212º F, but the normal temperature for household hot water use is only 120º to 130º F.

Suntrek Industries solar water heaters are divided into two major categories classified as active and passive. Your active solar systems rely upon moving mechanical parts in order to transport heat generated by the solar panels (solar collectors), while passive units simply use the sun to accomplish this act and create hot water.

A solar water heater is much more effective than your current water heater because the water heater will operate far less frequently; therefore, your solar water heater will extend its life normal life significantly.

The big question that everyone has to know is the cost of the solar hot water heating system; the magic cost will vary from $2,500 to $5,500, depending largely upon the number of people in the home or building that need hot water, the size, type and brand of solar heating system installed, the type of roof upon which the solar panels are going to be mounted, the building code requirements for your city and the orientation of the solar collector panels.
