SolarHot Solar Water Heating Systems
SolarHot offers a complete line of solar water heating systems, components and engineering services for every size and every type of project. From integrated systems packages to custom solutions, SolarHot products get the job done.
SolarHot Solvelox Drainback and Glycol systems were rated the most efficient in America by SRCC - Solar Rating and Certification Corp. - the highest of any of the freeze-protected solar hot water systems using less than 95 square feet of collector area. The SEF rating given to the SolVelox translated to a solar fraction of 86%! The key to this system is the SolVelox - SolarHot's pre-packaged, integrated solar thermal core - designed for maximum efficiency and minimum installation time.
SolVelox
The SolVelox converts any existing water heating system into a solar water heating system.
High performance collectors are only half of the equation. The key to an effective solar water heating system lies in pulling the heat out of the collectors and putting it into your tank. The SolVelox does this better than any other freeze-protected system on the market.
Optimized for performance and a low profile look. All valves, controls and cleaning ports fit neatly in one easy-to-maintain package.

Solar Water Heating Storage Tanks
Different solar heating systems require different heat storage tanks. In every case the tank needs to hold the heat when the sun doesn't shine and provide back up heat from another water heating source. A great option for a SolVelox Drainback or Glycol system is the Rheem Solaraide Tank. Rheem solar tanks have 4 ports with built in solar dip tubes and sensor wire. The Rheem Solaraide tanks are also available with wrap around heat exchangers. The coil wraps around the interior tank provide effective double wall heat exchanger. 
SolarHot offers custom stainless steel tanks for large commercial and industrial applications. The rectangular tanks are fabricated to size with heat exchanger, portand pump options.
Solar Drainback Tank
304 type stainless steel drainback tank includes sight glass and return line dip tube
Available in 10 and 20 gallon sizes
Solar Differential Controls
The Steca model TR 0301 U differential temperature control provides automatic, safe and reliable operation of domestic solar water heating systems. The TR 0301 U output is wired to a pump that circulates the heat transfer fluid between the solar thermal collectors and the storage tank during the course of the day. This microprocessor-based TR 0301 U utilizes two RTD (resistance temperature detector) type sensors to monitor collector and tank temperatures with digital accuracy. The LCD gives the homeowner a variety of real time information including system temperatures at up to three separate locations.
Solar Collector Mounting
