Solar water heaters offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for water heating systems. They work by harnessing the solar power to heat water before passing it through an insulated storage tank. This setup does not consume fossil fuels, which eliminates greenhouse gas emissions that damage the environment.
In solar water heater systems, the energy from the sun heats water flowing through the thermals. These collectors are typically placed outdoors and are made up of a series of pipes that absorb sunlight and are made of materials with high thermal conductivity such as copper, aluminum, and plastic.
A common design for solar water heaters features a evacuated tube collector and involves the use of a glycol solution to keep the fluid in the pipes from solidifying. This makes it possible to use the system even in freezing weather conditions, extending its performance.
