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, only 2 years out of mechanical engineering school. The technology was tweeked and tested in Vancouver where hundreds of systems were installed in the 80's and 90's. Hot Sun's work in that are also included conventional solar thermal, service and technology development. Hot Sun moved to San Diego in 1998. In 2004 the grid style collector format was scrapped in favor of the strip style and Powerstrip was born. The rest is...history.
