Solar Thermal

Solar Thermal systems are ideal for family households that use a lot of hot water.  With a Strata Solar system, solar thermal collectors on the roof capture heat from the sun, warming a heat transfer fluid (glycol) which then carries the heat to a storage tank where the heat from the fluid creates hot water.

Solar Energy is an excellent long-term financial and environmental investment that yields an excellent return for your money.  Not only will your energy costs decrease immediately, the federal and state cash incentives are tremendous which means the entire project can pay for itself in just a few short years. 

Solar Engergy also adds value to your home.  Comparing two similar homes, potential home buyers will be more inclinded to make an offer on a home that has lower energy costs and you can build your investment into the price of your home 

Basically, no other long term investment offers comparable returns with virtually no risk.

Here’s how Solar Thermal works:

Collector

Our solar collectors are guranteed for 10 years to withstand the harshest of weather conditions.  The front is tempered, sleek, non reflective safety glass which looks great on your roof.  Two or three collectors can typically supply a family with all the hot water they need.

Storage Tank

Our superior insulated tanks come in a variety of styles and sizes to fit any solar application.  These tanks are warrantied for five years and are the most efficient in the industry.

Solar Station

Our unique solar stations contain the pump, valves and guages needed to transfer heat throughout the system.  The solar station will monitor the supply temperature, return temperature, and ideal system pressure.

Controller

Our controller monitors system temperature, energy generated, and pump operation.  When the tank temperature falls below the temperature in the collector, the controller sends fluid to the tank to heat up the water. 

Investing in Solar Energy demonstrates a true commitment to the environment which will inspire your family, friends, neighbors and community.  Solar Energy is the cleanest and most sustainable source of energy available in the world.  There is no fuel and no emissions, and the average Solar Energy system is equivalent to planting 39 trees per year in offsetting CO2 production.
