Solar thermal systems use the sun’s heat to dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of residential and commercial properties. A solar thermal hydronic (water) system is an annuity that typically shows a return on investment after three years. These systems provide enough solar heat to cover most hot water needs—cooking, bathing, showering, heated pools and hot tubs. 

Solar thermal systems reduce water-heating costs for households and businesses by as much as eighty percent. Another bonus is that solar thermal users are protected from energy price hikes because the sun is readily available. To calculate the estimated cost and payback period for your home, contact us or visit www.solar-estimate.org.

We estimate that solar thermal systems will last the entire lifetime of your home. Importantly for the Bozeman area, we can install systems with freeze-tolerant panels, which produce heat even under frigid conditions. Whether you’re retrofitting an older structure or building a new one, we will help determine the best placement for the three components necessary for each of the following:

Solar thermal systems offer the satisfaction of knowing that the sun is heating the water, thereby saving money and helping to keep the environment a little cleaner. We’re always happy to advise on energy tax credits that apply to solar heat.
