Domestic hot water (for kitchen sink, bathtub, etc.) can be heated by the sun using evacuated tube solar hot water collectors.  This equipment captures energy from the sun to heat water during all seasons.  Owners of existing homes or businesses and people planning new residential or commercial construction can reduce the need to buy expensive fossil fuel, while also reducing your carbon footprint.

     To have a bigger impact on helping the environment and reducing your fuel costs, you can use solar hot water collectors to heat your home, in addition to heating domestic hot water.  The solar equipment is available in Windsor, Massachusetts from Alpine Solar Heat and Hot Water.  You can see the display, showing operational domestic hot water, whole house heating, and swimming pool heating systems.  Disassembled solar collectors can be viewed to help understand their construction and operation.  Do-it-yourself homeowners and contractors, please call for an appointment.  Purchasing solar equipment and viewing the displays will be available most weekdays and Sundays.  It is very informative to see the display on a sunny day when the outside temperature is frigid.

       You are welcome to learn from this website and from the operational displays.  If you purchase solar equipment from Alpine Solar Heat and Hot Water you will help the environment, reduce your fuel expenses, and help cure a disease.  For every 10 solar collectors sold, $100 will be donated to Charley's Fund which supports medical research to find a cure or treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystroyphy
