Solar hot water (aka solar thermal) systems are a great investment for many homeowners or business owners. The first commercial installations in the United States went in during the 1890′s – it’s a proven technology that is often commercially viable even before federal or state rebate programs. Thermal is a growing industry and a natural business extension for plumbing, heating, or roofing contractors looking to grow.
HeatSpring Instructor Bob Ramlow is one of two ISPQ Certified Master Trainers in the world. His three-day ‘Solar Thermal Boot Camp’ is a fast-paced course geared toward professional plumbers and contractors.
We asked Bob for a three-minute explanation of how solar thermal systems work. Even if you aren’t interested in the full three-day training, this video provides you with a fundamental understanding of how solar thermal systems work.
