SUN HoM Solar System

SUN HoM DHW is a solar hot water system appropriate for any climate, lending itself particularly well to retrofit situations. The active-indirect, drainback system uses a propylene glycol mixture (or plain water in non-freezing climates) in the collector panels and transfers the heat from that fluid to the domestic water system using a heat exchanger. When the sun isn’t out, the system shuts down. Unlike thermo-siphoning systems, this one uses small electric pumps—the hot water storage tanks (available in 80 or 120 gallon sizes) don’t need to be above, or even particularly near, the collector panels.
