If we all had solar PV panels, solar geysers and/or solar-powered thermoelectric generators operating at low efficiency, we would still be saving significant portions of our electricity bills, not to mention reducing the CO2 emissions.

We are the missing piece of of the puzzle. We manufacture tanks in 38 sizes for residential through commericial applications. Our tanks are easy to ship as they can be crated in 19" widths, 54" heights and varying lengths. They are round when expanded but are easy to install in retrofit sitations. Our heat exchanger deliver amazing efficiency by maximizing the stratification of hot water. We have the two year Bucknell University study to prove it. Contact us for more information.
