Sunward Solar Hot Water System - Installation Guidelines

Professional Installation

Have your Sunward System professionally installed in just a day or two
Many solar hot water systems are notoriously complex and expensive — primarily because no two installations are identical. Because the Sunward™ System is so simple, installation takes much less time, and that makes the cost of professional installation very reasonable for many people.

There are two types of Professional Installation available:

Sunward Certified Installation

We have a growing network of Sunward Certified Installers and offer complete system installation in many states. Currently, Sunward Certified Installation is available in CA, CT, DE, DC, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VA, and VT.

With Sunward Installation you get these benefits:

• Cost Incentive Guidance
  Depending on your location, special incentives (in addition to the 30% Federal Tax Credit) may be available to help defray the cost of your Sunward System. We'll do all the paperwork to take advantage of any available incentives. After reviewing your product and installation options you can estimate your total cost.
