Why Do You Buy Northern Lights Solar Water Heating Kit for Home?

Are you looking for a perfect way to use solar energy? What better way to do it than solar water heaters? Using advanced vacuum tube collectors, a solar heating system can operate in minus 40 temperatures.

The Northern Lights solar water heaters utilize a special glycol heating fluid that can work well in arctic temperatures and even high temperatures of up to 480F. The solar collectors capture the heat that move into a solar water tank which features an internal heat exchanger, present at the bottom of the tank.

The heat energy is transferred indirectly to the house for using hot water. If the water remains unused, it will be stored in the highly insulated tank. A solar differential controller and a pump properly control the entire heating loop. The controller helps in maximizing your system performance while turning on or shutting down the pump when required.

Buying Solar Water Heater for Domestic Use

The Northern Lights solar water heating system comes with a 4.5 KW backup heating element, which is present in the middle of the storage tank. This will allow the tank to deliver hot water even when the sun is not shining.

When it comes to buying this solar water heater, please remember that every home is unique and its requirements. You should consider the size of your house, the surrounding climate condition and its insulation value while choosing a right solar heater.

The larger solar water heating system needs more storage. If you live in the Northern climates, it’s highly recommended to have a 1 x 30 tube vacuum collector for every 300 square feet. When you buy solar water heater in warmer climates, you should consider 1 x 20 tube vacuum collector for every 400 square feet.


The size of storage tank depends on the number of solar collectors. Most storage tanks are available in sizes like 50, 80, and 119 gallons. If you have larger homes, you should add multiple storage tanks and run them in parallel fashion. It’s recommended to have minimum 40 gallons per 30 tube collectors; therefore a three collectors system will need storage of 120 gallons.
