How does a solar water heater work?

Solar collectors are typically installed on a home's rooftop. They collect energy from the sun and convert it into heat, which is then used by the system to heat water for home use.

In Québec, it is estimated that a domestic solar water heater can supply up to 60% of the energy needed to meet a family's hot-water needs.

And the sun will never send you a bill!

"600 solar water heaters for Québec"

Solar energy is a green, renewable and readily available form of energy. For these reasons, Québec’s Agence de l'efficacité énergétique (AEE) has launched a pilot project to promote the installation of 600 domestic solar water heaters in Québec before October 2010.

By participating in this pilot project, you could be eligible for financial assistance ranging from $2,700 to $4,250, or the equivalent of about 50% of the cost of purchasing a system. Find out more!

This pilot project was selected by Natural Resources Canada to be part of the federal écoÉNERGIE renewable-heating program, which now has a pilot initiative aimed at homeowners : the ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat program’s Residential Pilot Initiative.
