Best Solar Water Heaters: Duda Solar 15 Tube Water Heater Collector 45° Frame
Duda Solar Water Heater Collectors are the most efficient solar collectors on the market.
The evacuated tubes retain heat much better than flat panel collectors and therefore can work much more efficiently in cold climates.
They also have a unique capability of obtaining higher efficiencies while the sun is at an angle in the east or west through passive tracking in the tubes.
SRCC Certified and eligible for the 30% Federal Tax Rebate. May also be used with Duda Solar Aluminum Reflectors.

Best Solar Water Heaters: Duda Solar 150 Liter SUS – 304 Passive Water Heater
Pressurized Passive Solar Water Heater with Attached Tank Passive solar water heaters use vacuum tubes with heat pipes and an attached water tank for direct heating of potable water.
Sunlight enters the tubes, converting into heat at ~94% efficiency, and is then carried up through the heat pipe to the manifold which heats the water inside of the attached water tank.
Water is supplied at the inlet from city/well water, heated and then fed directly into the hot water plumbing of the building.
This unit includes an electric backup water heating element and a TK-7Y controller. The passive solar water heater controller is used for timing of the backup water heating and display of the tank temperature.

Settings on the controller help prevent heating water when hot water will not be needed, such as during 4 in the morning.
This gives the user the ability to only use electrical backup heating when it may be needed, thus giving the sun a chance to replenish heat.
These heaters are very popular for use in southern parts of America.
For applications in more northern regions where freezing is common, it is best to utilize split active solar water heater systems.
This unit heats the domestic water directly.
The tank’s hot water outlet connects directly to the home hot water tap. Painted/Galvanized solar water heaters are adequate in most general applications.
304 stainless steel tank/stand heaters may be necessary for corrosive environments such as on a beach where spray from sea water from the wind may be common.
The stainless steel versions also have a metallic look which may be more appealing.

Doheny’s Solar Grid Pool Heating Solar Panels
By using the Solar Grid Pool Heating Solar Panels you will extend your swimming season by using energy from the sun.
The sturdy legs keep the panel at a 30 degree angle to maximize sun exposure.
A “greenhouse” effect will be created due to the polycarbonate cover, improving pool heating.
10 square feet of surface area absorbs the sun’s rays, increasing your pool temperature up to 10 degrees in 5 days.
By connecting more than one solar panel, you can increase efficiency and warmth.
A Bypass Kit (sold separately) is required when connecting a solar panel to pumps 1HP or greater or for inground pools.
Basically, the sun warms the water running through the solar panel, then the water moves through the filter and returns to the pool warmer.
These Solar Grid Pool Heating Solar Panels are very compatible, working with more above ground and inground swimming pools.
Solar panels are easy to drain with the multiple drain plugs and is easy to store away. The easy access connectors and brass fittings create a leak-proof seal.
- Unique Curved Shape maximizes heat. Heats 5 degrees Fahrenheit in 4 days
- Durable construction with commercial grade collectors
- Threaded ports for versatile plumbing options
- Includes 2 hoses and stainless steel hose clamps
The GAME SolarPRO Curve Solar Pool Heater puts the power of the sun to good work.
It increases pool temperature by 5 degrees in 4 days (for an 8,000-gallon pool).
We’ve designed this above-ground solar pool heater with high-quality materials that will hold up against frequent exposure to the sun and outdoor elements, and with solar collectors.
The curved design creates a maximum solar collecting area that captures free heat from the sun even as the position of the sun changes.
The curve easily connects to inground or above-ground pools, and multiple units may be joined for even more heat.
