Solar Water Heating Systems

If you’re considering a new water heater, we encourage you to consider a solar water heater. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is a Solar Water Heater?

A solar water heater is a system that utilizes the sun’s energy to heat water for domestic or commercial use. The system comprises solar collectors that absorb the sun’s rays and convert them into heat, which is then transferred to a storage tank. The heated water is then used as needed, and the cycle repeats itself as long as the sun is shining.
There are four types of solar water heaters
1.Evacuated tube collector non pressurized
2. Flat plate collector non pressurized
3. Evacuated tube collector Pressurized
4. Flat plate collector Pressurized

How a typical solar water heater system works:

Solar Collectors – Flat-plate or Evacuated-tube panels are used to collect the sun’s energy. However, the collectors are mounted in a way that allows natural convection to circulate the fluid between the collectors and storage tank.

Storage Tank – The storage tank is located above the collectors and relies on natural convection to move the fluid. The hot water rises to the top of the tank while cooler water sinks to the bottom, creating a natural flow.

Backup Heating – Solar water heaters may also have a backup heating element for times when there’s not enough sunlight.

key points

Cost Savings

Cost Savings

Solar water heaters can save you money in the beginning as you don’t have to buy multiple electric geysers and in the long run as well by reducing your energy bills and minimizing maintenance costs.
Longevity

Longevity

Solar water heaters have a longer lifespan than traditional water heaters. With proper maintenance, they can last up to 20 years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and saving you money in the long run.
Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency

Solar water heaters are highly efficient, with some systems boasting up to 80% energy conversion rates. This means that they require less energy to heat the same amount of water than traditional water heaters, resulting in lower energy bills.
Environmentally Friendly

Environmentally Friendly

Solar water heaters use renewable energy from the sun, which reduces carbon emissions and other pollutants that contribute to global warming and climate change.
