Solar Thermal Water
The solar hot water heater was purchased from Third Sun Solar & Wind for approximately $4000. The Ecohouse purchased solar installations from both of the area's solar installers. Southeast Ohio is home to two out of the three solar installers in Ohio, Dovetail and Third Sun.

The heater uses a water/glycol solution to prevent the pipes from freezing during the winter. The system's PV pump works when the sun is shining. When purchasing a solar product, a solar hot water heater is a good investment because it has a short payback time of only five to seven years.
