The most cost-effective way to harness the sun's energy is by having it heat
your water.  A solar hydronic installation can be much less expensive than solar
photovoltaic (PV) installations, and are more efficient.  They can provide most or all
of your hot water needs. Solar hot water can be used to heat your home, too; we can
design and install a radiant heat system (preferably during a remodel) using water that
has been heated by the sun.

Green Building Solutions, Inc., can help you determine the solar hydronic system that fits
your needs and desires for your home or remodel, and properly install it.

Caleffi Hydronic Solutions (www.caleffi.us), a manufacturer of solar hydronic equipment, has
published a very good paper on the different types of solar hydronic installations and how they
work (idronics™ Journal by Caleffi Hydronic Solutions).
