Solar technologies

Solar heating is the use of solar energy to provide space or water heating to an enclosed area using a thermodynamic collector.

Active solar heating uses the Solar radiation to heat water directly or indirectly with the help of the thermodynamic collector.

Ircan plumbing has a CanSIA certified team offers professional installation and maintenance of active solar heating and photovoltaic systems. These systems can be used in the space and water heating of a home, business or industrial premises

With the Ontario power authorities FIT program (Feed in tariff projects over 10 kilowatts) and micro FIT program (projects 10 kilowatts or less) the incentive is now greater to install solar energy systems.

Payback time of most solar systems is usually 8-10 years depending on the investment.

Solar system installations include thermo-siphoning systems, Direct (open loop) passive systems, Active solar heating and central solar heating systems.
