Hot Water from the Sun

jp imageSolar thermal is the collection, storage, and use of heat from sunshine to make hot water. It is one of the most efficient means of using solar energy. Think about how hot your car gets when you park it in the sun- with a thermal system, you capture this energy and make it work for you. There is a huge amount of energy in solar radiation, and the sunshine on one square foot in one year is equal to the energy in 2.5 gallons of oil.

Even on cloudy winter days, two or three collectors can easily supply all the hot water for an average family and they can make a substantial contribution and cut utility bills. Solar Thermal Systems work the best when getting full sun and are facing the South.

Our solar thermal is a far cry from the old systems you may have seen. Our collectors are much more effective, and infinitely better-looking. We know you’re proud of your home, so we designed them with sleek lines; an attractive, smooth surface. They blend in perfectly with your roof line and make a statement about taste and innovation.

Schuco’s third-generation, closed-loop technology is at the leading edge of efficiency and reliability.  Our systems are practically maintenance-free.  They install quickly, with no “dirty work” in your home.  The system is up and running with minimal disruption in your routine.

  • Fast installation by a qualified, Schuco-trained installer
  • Maintenance free convenience
  • Guaranteed performance
  • Long life and dependability
  • Low utility bills
  • Enhanced home value
  • The satisfaction of knowing you’re part of the sustainability solution

Our thermal systems include everything needed- collectors, fluid, tanks, valves, control instrumentation, and mounting hardware.

What your Thermal System Includes:
Collectors
These turn solar radiation into heat. A non-toxic, freeze-proof fluid running through a pipe in the collector picks up this heat and transfers it to the rest of the system.

Schuco Collectors give industry-leading heat collection efficiency. Tempered safety glass, a tough aluminum frame, and corrosion resistant materials ensure long service life.  Our award-winning Premium collectors are architectural-grade collectors with clear glass, rounded edges and the industry’s most finished design. Our Slim collectors provide the same performance in a standard configuration and lower price.

Storage Tank
The storage tank is where the heat from the collectors is transferred to your water system and stored. The solar fluid never touches the water. 
Expansion Tank
Solar collectors get hot, and the solar fluid expands and contracts as its temperature changes.  The expansion tank gives it a place to do this.
Solar Station
This contains all the “plumbing.” We install the pump, valves, and fittings in the factory so that everything works the first time. No additional soldering is necessary in your home.
Controller
The DeltaSol provides automatic system control and shows your system’s yield and temperature.
Mounting Hardware
Our SolarEZ mounting system is carefully engineered for durability and strength to mount the collectors on the roof.
