Residential Solar Hot Water

The sun is the most abundant source of energy available on our planet.

Solar hot water systems are a reliable source of hot water that help you reduce your energy costs by providing independence from traditional heating sources. A solar hot water system can usually provide the majority of your hot water needs.

Domestic hot water is the second largest energy cost in a typical household, a solar hot water system from Second Generation Energy can reduce your monthly expenses, your reliance on imported fossil fuels and help you control global warming. The solar hot water system heats your water during the day and stores it for use later when you need it. For extended cloudy periods, a backup system will heat your water so you will never be without hot water.

Solar pool heating is the most cost-effective use of solar energy and can significantly reduce annual swimming pool heating costs. An outdoor pool in New England uses inexpensive solar pool collectors that can deliver 100% of all the energy required from Memorial Day to Labor Day. A solar pool heating system lasts much longer than a typical gas or heat pump pool heater and have been used for decades all over the country.

All Second Generation Energy pool heating systems operate automatically, require little maintenance, and will deliver years of clean, reliable, inexpensive energy.

Basic Requirements

• You need a mostly unshaded roof that is facing Southeast to South West or a sunny yard where we can install the collectors on a ground mount
• Your roof needs to be in good condition.
