Hot Sun Industries Inc.
The art of solar swimming pool heating
About us
Hot Sun's history dates back to Vancouver BC in 1980 when a unique flexible vinyl based grid style solar collector named Solarmat was introduced. Hot Sun founder, Ken Wright, took over the manufacturing operation in 1986, after graduating from UBC mechanical engineering school in 1984. The technology was improved, tweeked and tested in Vancouver where hundreds of systems were installed in the 80's and 90's. Hot Sun's work in the GVRD (Vancouver) also included conventional solar thermal, service and technology development. Hot Sun moved to San Diego in 1998 after selling manufacturing operations to our Mexico City distributor. Argosy Pools kept things going in Vancouver. In 2004, the grid style collector format was scrapped in favor of the strip style and Powerstrip was born. Pure Pwr Pools took over the San Diego market as a premier solar pool heating contractor featuring the Powerstrip solar pool heating system made by Hot Sun. Ken now lives in Burnaby BC maintaining the supply chain and continuing to advance the state of the art.
