EnerWorks Commercial Solar-Thermal Water-Heating Systems

For large-scale residential or commercial installations, we offer complete engineering, design, and specification services for custom arrays and storage systems that have generating capacities of 40 to 300 kW. An EnerWorks commercial system is ideal for any facility that uses a high volume of hot water for recreation facilities, laundry services, and industrial clean-in-place sanitation systems. Pair a solar-thermal system with our on-demand water heaters for the most long-term cost-effective technology combination available. EnerWorks solar-thermal systems are designed and assembled in Canada from components manufactured in Canada, the U.S., and Europe, so you can be sure they’ll withstand any weather the northeast can throw at them. The flat-plate collectors are simple and robust and feature a unique pressure-relief system to prevent “boiling” and vapor lock in standby mode in hot weather.

Commercial Solar Collectors

Product Photo
High-performance flat-plate collectors have undergone extensive testing and exceed SRCC (Solar Rating & Certification Corporation) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) requirements, and every collector is leak tested
Designed for quick installation in modules of up to 10 side-by-side collectors
Mount on sloped roofs and on racks for flat roofs, ground, or walls


Optional sheet-metal flashing kit available for installations on sloped roofs to provide a “clean” look
Major components assembled with silicone adhesive used for high-rise curtain-wall window manufacturing. This super-strong adhesive is resistant to extreme heat and cold and remains flexible under all operating conditions
Serpentine copper tubing fixed to aluminum absorber sheet using unique laser stitch, cold-welding technology, thoroughly tested for strength, thermal shock and corrosion-resistance
Spacing between glass and absorber carefully optimized for best performance with minimum panel thickness
Collectors shipped with reflective foil cover to prevent overheating during installation and commissioning
Selective absorber coating and serpentine tube configuration
Collectors measure 4’ x 8’
Designed and assembled in North America using the highest-quality components from the USA, Canada, and Europe in a partly automated, quality-monitored process
