Introducing the Thermo-electric-H2O-Reactor (TH2oR) – a revolutionary leap in solar water heating technology. This patent-pending system not only accelerates the shift from standard natural gas and electric resistance water heaters to advanced technologies but also aligns seamlessly with national, local and utility strategies for rapid decarbonization and the use of grid-responsive, distributed energy resources (DER).

For consumers the TH2oR has the potential to eliminate high energy bills related to hot water heating (approximately 20-30% of energy bill). Eligible for various federal and state energy rebates, the unit pays for itself in about one year.

TH2oR offers an alternative to standard storage water heaters and can even enhance heat pump water heater (HPWH) savings by using a revolutionary, low-impedance, low-voltage, DC heating element energized by solar PV to heat water. Unlike conventional solar water heating units that need inverters and clear sunny days to reliably provide power to heat up water or heating fluid, the TH2oR system uses an advanced electron excitation technology element (ExElement) to heat water. This accelerates the time needed to heat the water and also efficiently converts the electricity from the solar panels, to heat up the Water, even in low light conditions (200-300 W/m2) from sunrise to sunset.
