Solar Hot Water System – Solar Generated Hot Water Systems
My parents have had Solar Hot Water for thirty years, and wouldn't have any other system. When inundated by grown up family, they never run out of hot water and enjoy big savings on energy bills. It is also covered for damage by their household insurance policy.
A Solar water heater uses the sun's natural energy to heat water and currently governments are financing private households through subsidies to get us connected with solar hot water systems, in order to reduce greenhouse gases.
Connecting a Solar Hot Water system, has an immediate effect in reducing power bills. Living in a region that has sunshine is the only criteria. Thanks to the electric booster switch, the system is not totally dependent on sunshine, and will still heat the water during extended cloudy weather.
There are three elements to a solar system: the sun - the solar collector - and the water storage tank, and there are 3 main types of water heater, each using different technologies to harvest the sun's energy.
1. A fully roof mounted system - or Thermosiphon system. The water tank sits on the roof with collector panel. This system is based on two naturally occurring phenomena, dark objects absorb heat and hot water rises. The collector panels are coated with a dark heat absorbing surface. The water is heated in the collector panel, and circulates into the collector tank. The cold water from the water tank flows down into the collectors, and the process repeats itself creating a constant flow of hot water into the collection tank. The system has an electrical booster system in case of continuing cloudy days. It is also fitted with a system, to protect it from freezing in cold weather.
2. The split system. In the case of the split system the solar heated water from the collector panel is transferred to the tank which is mounted at ground level. The heated water is then pumped down to the storage tank on the ground, and the cool water that sits in the bottom of the storage tank is pumped up to the collectors an electrical pump called the circulator. Back in the collectors the process continues and the cool water is heated through the collector panel.
3. A Synergy Heat Pump water heater doesn't have collector panels but uses efficient heat pump technology to extract heat from the surrounding air to heat water - like a fridge in reverse or an air conditioner on reverse cycle. Like the other systems, the heat pump has an electric back up function.
These technologies are state of the art and all are designed to provide plenty of hot water with minimum effect on the environment.
Hi, My name is Marie and I live with my husband in Queensland, Australia. We are both very concerned about the carbon foortprint we are leaving on this beautiful planet, and so I have put together and information guide, aimed at the layperson on solar and wind power.
It gives details on where to buy manuals and DVD's on how to build your own solar panels and windmills, books on solar and wind power as well as related products. You can view my site at http://www.enesolarpanels.com
