Solar Water Heaters

Solar water heaters (also known as solar domestic hot water systems) are a cost-effective way to generate hot water for your home.  A solar water heating system comprises of a storage tank (geyser) and solar collectors. Solar water heating systems are either active or passive. An active solar water heating systems has a circulating pump and controls whereas a passive system does not.

There are three types of solar collectors are used for residential applications:

  • Flat-plate collector

Glazed flat-plate collectors are insulated, weatherproofed boxes that contain a dark absorber plate under one or more glass or plastic (polymer) covers. Unglazed flat-plate collectors—typically used for solar pool heating—have a dark absorber plate, made of metal or polymer, without a cover or enclosure.

  • Integral collector-storage systems

Also known as ICS or batch systems, they feature one or more black tanks or tubes in an insulated, glazed box. Cold water first passes through the solar collector, which preheats the water. The water then continues on to the conventional backup water heater, providing a reliable source of hot water. They should be installed only in mild-freeze climates because the outdoor pipes could freeze in severe, cold weather.

  • Evacuated-tube solar collectors

They feature parallel rows of transparent glass tubes. Each tube contains a glass outer tube and metal absorber tube attached to a fin. The fin's coating absorbs solar energy but inhibits radiative heat loss. These collectors are used more frequently for U.S. commercial applications.

Selecting a Solar Water Heater

Before you purchase and install a solar water heating system, we will help you with the following:

  • Considering the economics of a solar water heating system
  • Evaluate your site's solar resource
  • Determine the correct system size
  • Determine the system's energy efficiency
  • Estimate and compare system costs
