Site Evaluation
To help ensure that solar hot water is the right investment for your family, RES will first perform a comprehensive analysis of your hot water use. An RES site evaluator will then evaluate your site’s physical characteristics to determine the best solar collector location.

Domestic Hot Water
Clean heat
Domestic Hot Water Solar water heating is a cost-effective alternative to gas or electric water heating systems.
Solar water heating is a cost-effective
alternative to gas or electric water heating
systems.
Water heating is one of the largest energy expense in
your home. It typically accounts for 20 percent or more
of your gas/oil bill. This adds up to a savings of
$400-$700 annual savings
Domestic Hot Water (DHW) systems are a clean, sustainable, and reliable energy solution.
A solar hot water production system will provide enough energy to meet 80%-90% of your total domestic
hot water needs, even in cold climates.
Our systems are specially designed to work well in all climates including the bitterly cold New England winter.
RES provides custom design and installation for each individual job to make sure the best possible system is used to maximize output.
DHW systems easily tie into your existing system which will then become the backup
In cases where the existing system is due for replacement or in new construction, a solar duel coil tank is used that saves money on installation and overall cost.
The solar thermal collectors are installed on a roof or mounted on a ground structure.
Space Heating
Solar Hot Water Systems are a great way to help heat the rooms in your house. There are many ways to space heat with hot water, all of which add comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.
RES may be able to tie into your existing system and/or easily integrate a radiant loop heating your floors.
Space Heating is often coupled with a Domestic Hot Water Installation. When installing solar at your home, it's a great idea to consider using a DHW and Space Heating System together to produce over 45% of your utility bill.
Pool Heating
Pool Heating with solar is a very popular, inexpensive, and green way to heat your pool or hot tub. Pool heating collectors are very effective at circulating the water from your pool, through the collectors, heating up the water, and returning it to your pool creating a warm and luxurious experience for your family and guests.
Pool heating can also be accomplished when installing a Domestic Hot Water or Space Heating System. The Solar heated Water from the DHW collectors will easily supply all of your summer hot water needs at your faucet, as well as heating your pool to any desired temperature.
