We're LOOKING AT THE SUN for America's energy future!
Mirasol Solar Energy Systems offers Solar Thermal solutions to residences, businesses and institutions to help them reduce energy costs and use of polluting fossil fuels. We guarantee a responsive, professional customer service experience from planning the system through completion of the installation, and, if needed, with ongoing support.

Our Systems
Mirasol Solar Energy Systems currently offers SRCC-rated Solar Thermal Collectors from leading manufacturers such as Sunda. Selecting only the highest quality equipment, we design a complete package that interfaces with existing water heaters, forced-air furnaces, baseboard and radiant heat systems.
WHAT'S NEW! WHAT'S REALLY HOT!
EVACUATED TUBE COLLECTORS
Most advanced innovation in thermal solar collectors. Greater heat output than flat-plate collectors during winter months. Evacuated Tube Collectors stand up to New Mexico's weather, high winds and hail. More efficient performance for larger families, mid-sized businesses, or higher heat applications providing substantial fossil fuel savings. Small footprint, easily integrates with any existing home heating and water heating system. Successfully used in Europe & China for over 10 years. Fifteen years or more without loss of efficiency. Modular system makes repairs easy — if ever needed.
Here is an example of our evacuated tube collectors installed.
TYPES OF SOLAR DOMESTIC HOT WATER & SPACE HEATING SYSTEMS
Several types of solar thermal system designs may be used to produce solar domestic hot water: the Batch System, Drainback and Thermosyphon.
Batch Systems
The batch system was patented in 1891 and was widely used throughout the turn of the 19th century until fossil fuel water heaters were introduced circa 1912. Being efficient, simple and inexpensive, this system has remained in operation since then and today remains a favorite among do-it-yourself conservationists and solar enthusiasts to produce solar domestic hot water.
 Drainback, Open Loop System
For space heating we recommend the drainback, open loop system. Its advantage over all others is year-long, safe, automatic operation in any climate. It is the strong favorite of those who just want to turn on the faucet without caring where the hot water came from. This system will not boil or freeze. Unlike the simpler, direct systems, the tank water is heated via a heat exchanger. After the system collects all available sunlight, the heat transfer fluid -usually plain water- drains back and stores in a tank, thus preventing freezing in the collector. Space heating options can be readily added to this system including radiant or forced air heat.
Thermosyphon
If conserving space in the home is equally important to conserving fossil-fuels, Mirasol can install a thermosyphon system. This system combines the storage tank and the collector into one unit mounted on the roof.
There are more variations of the systems mentioned here to fit individual circumstances. These can be discussed with Mirasol in the course of an estimate.
Please feel free to inquire about any of our solar energy systems or request a estimate on a system design that interests you.
