Solar water heater | Fix Home 360

Why it pays off

The sun heats for free. Take advantage of it.

An electric water heater works all day keeping the tank hot even when nobody is using water. A solar one does the same without touching your bill.

Heating water can be a considerable portion of your monthly electricity use. With solar, that portion drops drastically.

The tank stores heat during the day and holds the temperature. Hot showers morning and night.

A permanent upgrade that adds to your property's value and lowers the cost of running it.

Equipment designed for Puerto Rico's coastal climate: intense sun, salt air and humidity.

How it works

A solar water heater doesn't have the complexity of a photovoltaic system. It's collectors, a tank and gravity doing their job.

The collectors capture the sun. Thermal panels on the roof heat the water directly — without converting to electricity first.
The tank stores it. Thermally insulated so the water stays hot at night and on cloudy days.
Optional electric backup. For weeks of continuous rain, a backup element guarantees you never run out.
Minimal maintenance. No pumps or complex electronics. An annual inspection and that's it.

Combine

The water heater mounts on your roof, just like solar panels. If you're going to do both, doing them at the same time saves time and mobilization.

Panels and batteries. The water heater lowers your consumption; the panels cover the rest.

Seal before you mount. A leaking roof forces you to take everything down later.

Hard water damages your water heater from the inside. A softener extends its useful life.

We evaluate your roof, your consumption and give you the number. Free of charge.
