West Vancouver - Solar Thermal system overlooking the Pacific Ocean

This Solar Thermal system installed in a home in West Vancouver was built on a new home and consists of:

Apricus Solar Pump Station
Apricus 20 tube collectors - x4
Titanium heat exchanger for salt water pool

Incorporating a Solar thermal or Solar PV system on a new home is easier than building on a retrofit as access to trusses for bracing and pipe routing through inside walls is simple.

On average, this system will generate 55,000 btu per day to heat this year round swimming pool.  The system will also be heated by a heat pump and / or boiler on the days where more heat is required than sunlight will provide.  Overall, this system will pay itself off in 3-5 years and be saving the home owner swimming pool heating costs for more than 10 years.

You can save a significant amount of natural gas usage using Solar Thermal to heat your swimming pool or domestic hot water - which translates to saving you money!
