VELUX® Solar Water Heating

There are many uses for solar power. For 65 years, VELUX® has been utilizing the power of the sun to bring natural light into homes through skylights and roof windows. It was a natural fit for VELUX® to start using the sun to heat the water in your home, which reduces your monthly utility bill and your family's carbon footprint on the world.

How much you will save depends upon the size of the system, site conditions (shading, roof pitch, and orientation) and the hot water usage patterns of your family. Typically, savings will be between 50% and 80% compared to a traditional tank type water heating system.

SolaraloS will work with you to evaluate your home to determine the best size and location for your new system, as well as make recommendations and give you a complete estimate of all components and services, from start to finish.
