AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS - SOLAR THERMAL
Solar thermal systems capture free, renewable energy from the sun to heat water before it flows into your hot water tank. This system can be sized to become your principal source of hot water, while your existing hot water heater operates as a backup system.
Our farm turnkey solar thermal systems are designed according to individual hot water consumption and the distinctive configuration of a particular operation. Our certified solar specialists will provide a full evaluation of your needs and our certified installation contractors will professionally install our system quickly and efficiently.

How does Solar Thermal work?
Blackstone supplies and installs solar thermal systems that utilize evacuated tube solar collectors. The tubes are tempered glass and contain a food grade glycol. This glycol absorbs the sun's heat and passes this heat into your domestic hot water system through a heat exchanger, with up to 50% of domestic hot water being supplied by solar thermal collectors. This water can be used to heat a home, barns or shops with radiant heating or used for household or farm washing.
Solar thermal is the most cost effective way for consumers to reduce their environmental impact. A typical residential system can reduce your hot water heating costs by 50% and reduce your carbon footprint by 2 tons of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) per year.
Buildings Connected with Propane, Fossil Fuel or Electricity
If you are heating your home or farm buildings with propane, fossil fuel or electricity you are spending more money than necessary. Solar thermal systems will save you hundreds of dollars annually.
