The Project

Jack is a World War II veteran that follows global issues closely. He has been noticing the trends in politics and energy and knows that solar should be an integral part of our energy mix. After extensive personal research he contacted us to design and install a hot water system that could integrate with his current radiant baseboard heating system.

The Design

During our design meetings we found that we would need to start off with a smaller system that would have domestic hot water as a priority. This system would also need to contribute to the space heating when the resource was available. So we put together a package that could do both of these things. We also made sure to size everything for future expansion that would allow Jack to contribute more solar energy to his space heating should he decide to make that additional investment.
