Northern Lights Solar Solutions is a world leader in alternative energy sources using solar heating. Solar energy is the cleanest and most inexhaustible of all known energy sources. Solar radiation is the heat, light and other energy that is emitted from the sun. Solar radiation contains huge amounts of energy and is responsible for almost all the natural processes on earth. The sun's energy, although plentiful, has been hard to directly harness until recently. With modern advances in solar technology, accompanied by mass-scale production, we are now able to harness the suns energy like never before. Modern day glass evacuated tube technology allows heat conversion that is up to 94% efficient compare that of Photovoltaic energy conversion, which is around 12% efficient, you can quickly why there is so much excitement regarding solar thermal heating.

The broad spectrum of uses for solar water heat is very large both for residential and commercial applications. Perhaps the most commonly known source of solar water heating is for pools as this has always achieved a very quick return for pool owners. It is estimated that nearly 78% of pools in North America utilize some type of pool solar heating. Break-through technologies are even making solar hot tubs popular.
The 2nd most popular use is of suns energy is for domestic solar water heating. In fact commercial solar water heaters go as far back as 1892 when the 1st residential solar water heater was manufactured. Currently there are over 1.5 Million homes in North America that rely partially on solar energy for their hot water heating. Government support and available grants have made hot water heat a clean cost-effective investment.
With the new spectrum of solar evacuated tubes we are finding solar water heaters in places such as solar home heating and large commercial solar heating projects. See our solar water heating systems for more information on these solar system. DIY solar conversions are also very popular and can be done very inexpensively, visit our solar water tank tips.
Please browse our website as you will find comprehensive information on solar water heating systems including award winning SunRain evacuated tube collectors, industry leading solar controllers, and a variety of solar accessories such as solar hot water pumps, digital controllers and solar heat exchangers.
