Are you looking for a way to enjoy the summer sun? Or just want to cool off in the hot days? Whatever reasons maybe, a pool becomes handy for you. But if you live in Canada and anywhere in Northern USA, a pool is seldom hot enough.


You feel like getting enough heat on those rare heat wave days. That’s why most pool owners use propane or a natural gas heater as an additional heat source on the colder nights. But the overall cost of heating the pool can be significant.

Are you looking for the most efficient solar water heating systems available on the market? If yes, then you should look further than solar evacuated tubes with heat pipes. Heat pipe and vacuum tubes technologies are not new in the solar industry as the International Space Station has been using both technologies. 


Most laptops use heat pipes internally for cooling the motherboard and vacuum tubes are used in electronic appliances like TV and radios. They are still the go-to options for high-end

With the advancement of technology in the solar energy industry, more and more numbers of people are investing in solar power systems. Deciding on whether or not to grid-tie solar panels is generally pretty straightforward process – the clear-cut benefits of going grid-tied systems appeal to most of the homeowners. Out of the available different solar systems around the world, solar on-grid systems are the most commonly installed ones by homeowner and commercial premises.

Are you looking for a perfect way to harness solar energy? If so, then solar water heaters can be ideal for your residential applications. Even solar water heating systems can be used year-round. With the advanced vacuum tube solar collectors, a solar water heater can work in temperatures of minus 40.


Solar Water Heaters


Solar water heating systems in Canada and the Northern USA are available with a closed-loop or an active solar water system. This kit design is based on the requirement for a glycol-based heating

Solar energy is practically available to an unlimited extent unlike the fossil fuels. Most advanced heating systems can be combined with solar panels for hot water heating purposes or feed excess heat into the heating circuit.

Using solar radiation as heat energy is well-known as solar thermal heating. Here are some of the best benefits discussed below:

Solar Space Heaters

  • Endless amount of energy at free of charge
  • No carbon-dioxide emissions during the operation
  • Cost savings – around 60% less energy to heat water and

Nowadays solar on-grid systems are preferred by most people as they provide an additional advantage to earn from your solar system. That means, you can install an on-grid solar system and take advantage of its net metering policies to avail a credit in your electricity bills.


First of all, you should know what exactly an on-grid solar system is. A grid-connected or on-grid solar system is the one that is connected to the grid and can work when the utility power grid is available.

Introducing Solar Grid Tie Systems


Do you want to create electricity on your own? The process has never been easier. With the latest regulations in the energy laws, all homeowners can be able to produce their own energy and use the grid to store the excess energy.


That means, the meter spins backward direction when you have surplus energy and in forward direction when you have more demand than the production. For the solar on grid systems, you have to install a DIY solar PV kit that comprises of

Over the years geothermal energy has been used in some countries for residential applications including cooking and heating purposes. In short and simple words, geothermal is the energy derived from the earth’s internal heat.


The rock and fluids beneath the Earth’s crust contain this thermal energy. This energy can be available in shallow ground and several miles below the surface as well as the extremely hot molten rock known as magma.


What is the use of geothermal energy?

Are you planning to buy DIY geothermal system? If so, then considering horizontal ground loop installation makes perfect sense. All you need to do is to hire a back hoe featuring a 36” bucket for a slinky loop. Or you can rent a chain trencher to deliver single line trenches for the ground loops.


When it comes to making the purchase of geothermal systems in the northern USA and in Canada, you will be provided with 800 feet coils per each loop by 123 Zero Energy. But in the southern climates, you

Solar on grid systems means the solar systems are tied to local utility grid. They are on high demand for good reasons. However, storage is important aspect of solar on grid systems. There are three different ways you can consider to store the solar energy you produce – DC batteries, hot water tanks and on grid or Net Metering. Please check out this post and understand better about storage options for solar on grid systems:
