A solar hot water system is a technology that uses energy from the sun to heat water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use. This system is an eco-friendly alternative to conventional water heating methods, such as electric or gas heaters, as it significantly reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Components of a Solar Hot Water System:
Solar Collectors:
Flat Plate Collectors: A large, flat box with a dark absorber plate that absorbs sunlight, heating the water or fluid inside.
Storage Tank:
Insulated tanks that store the hot water heated by the solar collectors. The size of the tank depends on the system's capacity and the hot water demand.
Heat Exchanger (in indirect systems):
Transfers heat from the solar-heated fluid to the water inside the storage tank, especially in areas where freezing conditions are a concern.
Backup Heater:
Provides additional heating when solar energy is insufficient, such as during cloudy days or high-demand periods. Backup heaters can be electric, gas, or integrated into the tank.
