Solar Water Heating
Our solar water heating systems provide 70-90% energy cost savings through high-efficiency flat-plate collectors. These systems integrate with existing plumbing for residential and commercial buildings, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Backed by 48+ years of engineering expertise, our solutions include drainback and indirect systems that prevent freezing in cold climates.
Pool Heating Systems
EagleSun pool heating panels extend swimming seasons while cutting energy costs by 70-90%. Designed for durability, these unglazed thermal panels feature patented mounting systems and corrosion-resistant materials. Ideal for residential pools and commercial aquatic facilities, they operate efficiently in diverse climate conditions without antifreeze requirements.
Commercial Solar Solutions
We deliver scalable solar thermal systems for commercial buildings including hotels, hospitals, and office complexes. Our indirect systems achieve 70-90% water heating efficiency with glycol or drainback designs. These solutions meet ASHRAE standards and qualify for LEED certification, reducing operational costs while maintaining compliance with federal energy codes.
Thermal Collector Accessories
Our accessories include plate heat exchangers, solar pump stations, and storage tanks engineered for optimal system performance. These components meet or exceed federal energy efficiency standards, featuring corrosion-resistant materials and modular designs that simplify installation across residential and industrial applications.
Hybrid Solar Containers
The Smart Hybrid Solar Container combines photovoltaic and thermal technologies in a portable unit. Designed for industrial applications, it generates electricity while providing hot water, achieving 77% greater energy output per square foot compared to standalone PV systems. This solution includes integrated monitoring for performance optimization.
