advantages of solar hot water systems

Years before there were photo voltaic solar cells that

you could put on your roof to make electricity, there

was solar hot water panels that created hot water

from the sun that then fed into the house to be used.

There are several different kinds of solar hot water

systems that range all the way from do-it-yourself

system.

Depending on the climate

where you live, the direction

and slant of your roof, and the

space available for hot a water

storage tank, it is possible to

save quite a bit of money on

energy. Let's take a look at

some of the ways this type of

system can be put together and

some of the advantages and

disadvantages.More info on:



A renewable energy solar thermal technology

system as it's called, takes the sun's heat energy

and uses it to heat regular household water,

pool water, or Jacuzzi water in order not to use

natural gas, electricity or oil which all cost

money. More info on:



By using free energy from the sun, even if it's only

to pre-heat the water before it enters your regular

water heater, you can save money passively. For

the most part, these kinds of systems only require

an investment at the beginning, then function for a

decade with almost no maintenance.

As far as the collector panels

go, there are couples of

different kinds, mostly based on

whether or not they are

concentrating the sun's energy

to heat the water or just heating

water directly. A high

temperature collector uses

mirrors, lenses and other means

to concentrate the sunlight to a

higher temperature than the low

temperature collectors will.

There are some systems that

use a pump to constantly

circulate the water through

the collectors and through a

holding tank, keeping the

holding tank water at a

constant high temperature. A

passive system will function

using only the regular water

pressure from the pipes.

If you do opt to go with the high-tech system

involving a pump, it also uses its own heat

transfer storage tank and a special fluid

circulates through the system that is able to

handle and store more heat than just regular

water.
