Why utilize the sun to heat our water on a daily basis?

It makes sense to use what nature provides us with.

Mexico is one of the 5 countries with better solar radiation in the world. This provides great savings and clean energy with no pollution. We need to educate our entire population to be eco-responsible.

Heliocol solar collectors are designed to heat large volumes of water (thousands of gallons) to relatively low temperatures (under 95 degrees Fahrenheit) by circulating the water at a relatively fast rate through the collectors. Domestic hot water systems raise a small volume of water (less than one hundred gallons) to very high temperatures (139 degrees Fahrenheit) by circulating the water slowly through the collector. These two different solar technologies are meant for different applications. A domestic hot water system cannot sufficiently heat a large body of water such as a pool to comfortable temperatures while a Heliocol system cannot reach the very high temperatures needed for domestic use. In addition, domestic hot water systems are made of copper, which deteriorates quickly when in contact with the corrosive pool water. However, in some countries, Heliocol systems are used to "pre-heat" domestic hot water. Heliocol solar collectors do not require glazing or insulation making them much cheaper and lightweight then domestic hot water panels
