The EKO ENERGY solar hot water system consists of one or more solar collectors fixed to the northerly facing roof of your house in a mounting frame. The solar collectors will be made either of glass flat plate or evacuated tubes.

These panels will usually be located close to one of the major hot water consumption areas, such as the bathroom.

The sun’s radiant heat is absorbed by the solar collector surface and used to heat the water. During the day an automatic pump will continuously cycle heated water from the collector panels and cooler water from a storage tank located on the ground or co-located on the roof.

All units are gas or electricity boosted to ensure hot water all year round.

This process is a continuous cycle and can save the average household up to 85% of the amount of energy required to heat water as well as up to 3 tonnes per annum in related greenhouse gas emissions.
