SOLAR DOMESTIC HOT WATER

Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems

Solar Energy – A Popular Energy Source

For most Americans, solar energy is a preferred energy source. Clean and renewable, solar energy reduces worldwide dependence on fossil fuels and their inherent environmental and political problems. Plus, the cost of harnessing the sun’s energy is independent from rising energy prices.

Solar Thermal for Your Home - Generating and Using Heat Locally

With a solar thermal system, the energy for your hot water and heating is generated locally from your roof. Your hot water needs determine what your optimal size system would be. Larger systems simply use more collectors and larger water storage tanks.

Solar Energy for the Future

Solar energy is clean, reliable, reduces energy costs, and is promoted by attractive subsidies. Thus, solar offers an attractive alternative to coal, gas, nuclear, and oil as sources of energy.

Solar Thermal - Heat from Solar Energy

The basic principles of solar thermal are easy to grasp: Unroll a garden hose and lay it out in the sun. After a while the water in the hose will get hot.
Thermal collectors work on the same principle, only much more efficiently. A special fluid is heated within a closed circuit to a temperature of up to 430 degrees Fahrenheit and pumped into a heat exchanger to transfer the heat without mixing fluids. This heat is then "stored" in a domestic hot water tank. Some solar thermal systems are used to merely heat a home's domestic hot water, while others are used for heating or even to heat swimming pool water.

Heat Even When It Is Cloudy

Heat will still be generated even when the sun is obscured by clouds. Even on cloudy days, thermal systems work with a large percentage of their capacity through the diffuse light they receive.
