Active Solar Systems

"Active solar technology uses electrical or fuel-driven mechanical equipment to perform some of its functions.  For example, some solar swimming pool heating systems use electric pumps to move the heated water from the coils in the solar panels into the pool.

Some solar electric systems use motors to allow their photovoltaic arrays to track the sun’s movement throughout the day in order to maximize the amount of sunlight they capture.  Grid-tied solar electrical systems are also considered to be active systems because they rely on the electric company as a backup source."

We use Rheem storage tanks and electric storage water heaters for solar applications, along with Grundfos heating circulators to maximize your water heater's efficiency. Learn more at http://waterheating.ruud.com and http://www.grundfos.com.
