How does a Solar Water Heater work ?
Nature always has only the best to offer to mankind. Solar energy is one such gift to us and Shakthi Solar believes in making the best use of this gift. And as one of the leading solar water heater manufactures, we believe in passing
on the same goodness to our clients. Shakthi Solar has a wide range of solar water heaters that can be tailor-made to your needs. Here is the science behind the magic of how solar water heaters work. A solar water heating system
consists of an insulated tank and thermal collectors. The thermal collector captures heat from the sun and heats the water. This water stored in Insulated Storage Tank.
- FPC collectors use a special Solar Grade Glass with high absorptivity and low emmisivity.
- Similarly the ETC systems use tailor made Glass Tubes with Vacuum as an effective insulator.
Overview
Energy conservation and optimum use of natural energy resources are the need of the hour. And solar energy plays a huge role in this. Shakthi solar, a pioneer in Solar water heaters, is here to make this happen. All we need is your will to do it.
A hot shower is indeed extremely refreshing and relaxing. Being able to get warm water when you open your bathroom tap is no more a luxury. It is an essential need.
Using electricity for heating your water is neither going to help you save money nor help the environment in the long run.
This is where the installation of solar water heaters make a huge difference.
How ?
Solar water heater convers sunlight into heat energy for heating water. The system consists of a insulated water tank and solar thermal collectors attached to it, which can absorb sunlight very effectively. This facilitates the heating of the water inside the tank. The hot water stored in the insulated water tank can be used at your convenience. Shakthi Solar’s heating systems also come with inbuilt electric heating systems to make your life easier on a cloudy day.
Types of technology used for heating water Two types of technologies used in Solar water heater to heat Water. One is through solar Flat plate collector and other is Evacuated tube collector. This heated water is stored in insulated storage tank. This system of heating is suitable for normal climatic condition. solar water heaters can be also used effectively in places with cold climate by using non -freezing fluid to absorb heat from sun this heat will be transfer to the water in the storage tank . In larger Systems forced circulation make use of electric pumps, valves and controls to pump the water from the collectors to the storage tanks. Smaller systems do not require any pumps; the water is pumped by natural convection from the collectors to the storage tank.
