To become the provider and educator of Solar Thermal Technology and providing each individual an educational transition from aging technology to future technology.
Solartech, founded in 2007 by James Blevins, is a company that excels in research and development of solar technology. Currently, Solartech is working with Ball State University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology on several patents for the solar community.
Solartech was developed after a phone call was made to its parent company, Sertech Heating & Air Conditioning, about the possibility of tying solar in with geothermal. The customer had called the engineers of several large geothermal corporations and was told it was not possible. After two months of research, James Blevins came up with the idea and design of how it was possible. This design started the realization that thermal was an unlimited amount of possibilities with solar thermal technology.
Solartech now has designs on attaching solar into radiant floors, forced air systems, geothermals, domestic hot water heat and much more. Solartech has completed jobs with residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Solartech does not only deal withy design and research, but also education. Solartech realizes the true value of educational and performs seminars to the public, including schools and businesses to help assure individuals that solar thermal technology is here to stay and why it is a growing technology that should be sought after.
Most jobs designed by Solartech will be installed by its parent company Sertech, who has NATE & Solar Certified Technicians to best serve on the job. Through education, research, and installation experience , Solartech is here to serve all solar thermal needs.

Q: Can solar work during cold weather?
A: Yes! Unlike older flat collectors, the vacuum in the tube collectors trap the heat and allow it to be unaffected by extreme cold temperatures.
Solar Thermal Technology is made of a tube collector, collection tank, controller panel and usually a boiler and/or heat pump. The tube collector is a vacuum tube that absorbs the UV light and turns it into heat
