FAQS
-
By using strategically placed photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to convert sunlight directly into electricity. The electricity is then used directly from the solar PV panels to power a proprietary electric heating element in the water tank. 100% Solar Electricity > Heating Element > Hot Water. It’s that simple.
-
The TH2OR solar water heater can potentially reduce your water heating energy costs down to $0, lower your carbon footprint, make your home more self-sufficient and increase the value of your home. It is also a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to heat water for a low initial cost. Once you own your system and the installation is complete, you will be able to heat your water for free, for life.
-

-
Yes, because TH2OR operates off of PV solar panels the system qualifies for Title 24.
-
Water heaters have an impressive lifespan of 10 to 15 years or even longer when properly maintained.
-
PV solar panels and water heaters require very little maintenance, but it is important to have them inspected and serviced periodically. This may include checking the system for leaks, cleaning the collector, and replacing any worn or damaged parts.
-
TH2OR solar PV powered water heaters can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a home by reducing the need for electricity or gas to heat water. This can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
