SolarRoofs.com manufactures the Skyline series of solar hot water systems that include the Skyline 1 open loop system used in tropical climates. This solar water heating system is easy to install and includes a 12 volt pump that is powered by a solar panel. The pump circulates potable water through the solar collectors to heat the water. After heating, the water is returned to the storage tank, which can either be the existing electric/gas tank, or the tank that is exclusively added for solar heating purposes.
