How does solar water heater heat potable water?





Solar Water heaters appliance consists of a collector which collects solar energy and an insulated water tank to store hot water use energy from the sun’s rays to heat water for domestic & commercial purposes. Best solar water heaters on receiving solar energy, the collector transfers heat to the underlying pipes containing water, which goes to the insulated storage tank. 


This water is recirculated to increase the temperature of the water. There are two categories of solar water heaters: closed-loop and open-loop. In the open-loop system, the water is open to the atmosphere at some point in the cycle. The open-loop systems are suitable for domestic as well as small industrial purposes.

How Does Solar Energy Play An Important Role In Protecting The Environment?

Image
  Solar energy is one of the easily available sources of energy that can be accessed from anywhere. With the latest development, there are various methods and techniques to harness solar energy and convert it into another form of energy like thermal energy, electrical energy, light energy. Using solar photovoltaic cells to capture the incident solar energy and produce the required form of energy is one of the common methods of harnessing solar energy. It can be used for a variety of uses like generating electricity, heating water, comfortable interior environment, providing light, etc. The solar power system consists of a few basic components like solar collectors that absorbs the incident solar energy, battery-related components to store the produced energy, mounting structure that carries the load of the entire system. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable source of energy that is easily available everywhere hence there are no geographical limitations to utilizing

Is a solar hot water system cheap

Image
  The solar hot water system , also known as the solar thermal system, is an excellent and efficient energy system that can be used to generate power to heat water. These thermal panels directly use sunlight or heat from the sun to heat water and are cheaper than PV panels. With solar systems, you can save a lot on utility bills and fuel consumption. However, if you go with a general review by users, the solar photovoltaic system is considered a bit more efficient than the thermal water heating system. Even if they are not cheap initially, you can save a lot on utility bills once their installation is done.  The system uses photovoltaic panels to absorb sunlight and store it in electricity, which is further used to power several devices, including heating water. Photovoltaics make it easier to absorb the sunlight than the thermal system.

Is a Smart Meter For Solar Power a Good Idea?

Image
The power generated by solar power can be measured by inbuilt meter. This can be seen on LCD display available onto the inverter. Some inverter don’t have the LCD display, so the solar power can be measured by the mobile app which is connected to the inverter with Bluetooth. Many of the solar grid connected inverters comes with the inbuilt data logger. If internet is provided to the data logger all power generation data can be seen on web portal/mobile app. The advantage of having this smart meter is that all power generation can be observed real time and faults can be notified immediately.  Click here to know more about  solar power system
