Solar Domestic Hot Water

Our Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW) program is handled through Recharge Colorado. Please visit the Recharge Colorado website for program requirements and information.

Solar energy can be a reliable and efficient alternative source for heating your domestic hot water, providing up to 80 percent of your home’s annual water-heating needs. While conventional electric or natural gas water heating systems are still necessary as a supplement to the solar water heating system, it can save you money on your natural gas or electric bill and save the environment by using less fossil fuels.

Customer Testimonial

“I have seen a significant reduction in the cost of my hot water since installing a solar hot water system. The cost savings occurred during the two months of the year with the shortest solar gains. I am excited to see the savings during the rest of the year with higher sun angles and longer days.

The system was installed quickly and requires virtually no maintenance. The panels don't detract from the appearance of the home - in fact they look just like a couple of sky lights on the roof.”

~ M. Summers
