Solar Water Solutions is an independent website about solar water heating and other solar water solutions. We publish guides for homeowners and property owners comparing solar water heating and solar water solutions, with a focus on comparing solar water heating systems, components and alternatives so households can choose a system that fits their hot water use, climate and site.
Who we are
Solar Water Solutions was founded in 2026 and is run by a small, independent editorial team. We are an online-only publication. We are not owned by, and do not work on behalf of, any manufacturer, installer, brand or retailer, and no company reviews or approves our guides before they are published.
What we cover
Our guides are organized into these sections: Solar Water Heating Basics, System Selection, System Components, Costs and Efficiency, Maintenance, Buying Guides and Other Solar Water Solutions. Each guide explains what matters for a given situation, which trade-offs to expect and where its advice stops.
How we research
Our content is written by the Solar Water Solutions editorial team. We base our guides on the U.S. Department of Energy, certification listings such as those of the Solar Rating & Certification Corporation (SRCC), manufacturer specifications and installation manuals, and we link to the source when a guide states a figure or a safety point.
We are clear about the limits of our work. Unless an article explicitly describes our own use of a product, our guides are research-based and are not hands-on product tests. We do not invent test results, ratings or statistics. Read our Editorial Policy for details.
Safety and scope
Solar water heaters can produce very hot water and high pressure. We do not promise savings or performance figures, and we point to official guidance on scald prevention and water heater safety. Installation, roof work and connection to household plumbing should follow local codes and be done by qualified professionals.
