High‑performance solar hot water for extreme cold environments.

We are currently finalising thenew designed Aurora Skid – a containerized solar hot water system engineered specifically for polar, arctic, and sub‑arctic conditions. Unlike standard solar thermal systems that fail below -20°C, our unit operates reliably at -40°C and lower.

What we are building

• Complete 20ft and 40ft containerized systems – tank, pumps, controller, piping, and backup heater integrated inside a standard shipping container.
• Evacuated tube collectors on a ground frame – no moving parts, no tracking, no fragile Fresnel lenses.
• Cold‑climate package as standard – drain‑back, heat tracing, extra insulation, internal container heater, wind‑rated frame.
• Buffer tank sizes from 1000 litres to 5000 litres – suitable for 10 to 200+ people.
• Integrated electric or diesel backup – seamless transition during polar nights or extreme cloud cover.
• Optional IoT remote monitoring via satellite (Iridium, Starlink).

Who this is for

• Antarctic research stations (McMurdo, South Pole, Halley)
• Arctic communities (Northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Svalbard)
• Remote mining camps (diamond, gold, lithium in permafrost regions)
• Oil & gas sites (North Slope, Siberia, offshore)
• Logging and forestry camps (northern Scandinavia, Russia)
• Northern villages and apartment buildings
• Military bases in polar and remote regions

Not ready for extreme cold?
We also offer a standard version for milder climates – ideal for hotels, communities, and commercial buildings in Southern Europe, the Mediterranean, or the Caribbean. See our Hotels and Communities pages.
