Nature's Comfort SunMor Solar Heating System
Our panels use energy collection and transfer methods that are among the most effective and cost efficient designs available using vacuum insulated, solar collector bulbs that are over 95% efficient in solar energy collection.
Multiple SunMor collectors may be combined in series or parallel configurations to suit various heating requirements (A 60 tube collector will heat up to 150 gallons of water). SunMor Collector designs are available for use with or without a supplemental heating source, such as an outdoor wood boiler.
SunMor Solar Collector Benefits
- Start saving on the first sunny day
- Expandable - Need more heat? Just add more tubes!
- No pump required when hooked up to our boiler (works by heat siphon)
- Can run off 110vac or 12vdc pump using a solar panel
- One SunMor-60 can produce up to 72,000 btu per day!
- Rapid payback time - can pay for itself in just a few years
- Use less wood. coal, LP, natural gas, or electricity

American Inventors Mike and Dave Nyhof Produce The First Hybrid Solar/Boiler System
On November 20, 2010 Mike Nyhof of the USA invented the concept of combining solar and solid fuel by putting a firebox inside a solar water tank which eventually led to the SunMor Solar System. Combining solar energy with solid fuel to heat water, the first hybrid system was born. The solar system takes advantage of the sun during non-heating months to heat domestic hot water and assists solid fuel burning for heating a structure in the remaining cold months. Mike’s brother Dave, owner of Nature’s Comfort LLC, was already building wood and coal boilers which offered a perfect opportunity to work together to produce solar/solid fuel water heater hybrid. Their goal was to find the most cost effective and efficient results, giving customers endless hot water and cutting down the use of solid fuel. Combining the two using thermo-siphon for circulation worked the best with several great advantages and also solved a number of other issues including eliminating the need for a pump, controls, overheating problems and low water issues. Using the best triple coated evacuated collector tubes with our high efficiency boilers was an idea America was in need of. The SunMor SM-H60 (60 tube panel paired with a NCB-120 or NCB-175) hit the market July 12, 2011.
Solar Photovoltaic Panels
Save money by using the limitless energy of the sun! Our 'Modular Design' PV panels allow for fast and simple adding of new panels. This makes possible an incremental approach to switching to solar. For example: you may wish to start with 1kw of panels on your system and add another 1kw in 6 months.
