This solar thermal system uses energy from the sun to heat water, which is then stored in a super insulated hot water tank.

Usually used to provide domestic hot water and space heating, this solar thermal system on a dairy farm in Riverhead NY is used to provide hot water to clean milk bottles. For hygiene reasons, government regulations require the water to be heated to 120°F. With proper management this system will be able to provide water at this temperature for most of the year, although there is an electrical backup (powered by solar electric panels) for periods of extended overcast weather
