Does SHWS work in cooler climates?
Yes, it is proven that a SHWS will work in places with a cooler climate, all units have been designed to attract the most amount of sun possible. For frost prone areas systems have been designed with a product called GLYCOL in them which is an anti-freeze agent. The glycol runs through the panels being heated directly by the sun, then it runs around a jacket in the tank called a Heat Transfer Module, which transfers the heat across to the water stored in the tank, meaning no frozen over and cracked pipes or panels (which are not covered by ANY manufacturers warranty if a non frost protected system has been installed.
