    All systems are designed to be installed with existing or added standard water heating tanks.  No tanks are included with these system prices. In general, systems should be sized to have a minimum of 1 gallon of storage per sq. / ft. of collector area.   Systems 1, 2 and 3 are open-loop systems, meaning that they heat the water that is used throughout the house.  Systems 4 and 5 are closed-loop glycol systems with heat exchangers, which is essential in areas that freeze.
If you are in a freeze-prone climate and you are not sure which system to install, order a SYSTEM 5.

Please feel free to call with any questions, toll-free: (877) 713-7858
