The Phoenix Evolution from Heat Transfer Products looks to be a great all in one device for you home heating, domestic hot water, and solar preheating. Everything is preplumbed for you so all you have to do is hook it up to your hot water heat system, your domestic hot water system and you can even have one with an internal coil to preheat your tank water with an outdoor solar panel. Looks to be a great system that will work well in cramped utility rooms and take the guess work out of plumbing a solar hot water system effectively. Check out their other heating products as well.

Sun Earth – Solar Hot Water Panels

Capturing the energy from the sun actively takes 2 forms, which includes heating water and heating air. Sun Earth Inc. takes energy from the sun and converts it into heating water that can then provide domestic hot water for your home for most of the year and larger systems can actually supplement radiant heat systems in your home. I have 3 4×10 solar hot water panels on my roof and it actually offsets 80% of the energy for my homes hot water and when there is enough sun, it can also decrease the energy for heating my home through the radiant floors. These can either be roof mounted (like on my house) or ground mounted to get better southern exposure. Check out their products to get more information.
