With the rising cost of fuel and the issue on global warming, cheap, efficient and environmentally-friendly power production are the orders of the day. Solar heating is the process of taking the solar energy and converting it into usable energy for heating water. The present scenario has made a decline of the availability of the non renewable energy sources and it has been predicated that is these resources are used at the same rate, it will result into disasters and this will be unavailable for the people of our next generation this is an urgent need for seeking for the alternative ways for powering water heaters.
Solar energy water heaters are become cost effective and least forms of water heaters as these are powered by nuclear energy and these solar heaters can be implemented on any place and any suitable water conditions.
Solar water heaters come in various configurations and their prices vary according to their design, cost, performance and level of elaborateness.
What do you get in a solar water heater? It consists of a storage tank for hot water and solar collector to absorb solar energy, a back up energy source and pump controls in certain cases. You get different collector models like the integrated collector and storage system. These put together the function of hot water storage and solar energy collection in one unit.
You get different types of .
Solar collector Platinum Series, and Silver Series.
Platinum Series is available in various ranges: 4' x 6.5' , 4' x 8' , & 4 x 10 which includes Copper fins that are ultrasonically welded, 11 copper risers, Blue sputtered absorber coating, Polyurethane insulation, Low-iron solar glass.
Silver collector is available in 4' x 8' size which includes Copper fins that are ultrasonically welded, 11 copper risers, Glass wool insulation, Selective black paint absorber coating.
Most solar collectors are roof mounted and they are used for heating water for domestic use, heating of pools and space heating needs. They are available in three models:
The first model the warm solar heater is easy to install and maintain and since it uses no electricity it can function during black out as well. The second model is a flat type heater with pumps, valves and controllers to assist in prevention of freezing. It uses electricity and does not function during blackouts. And third solar hot water active, evacuated tube is a heavy duty commercial as well as residential model. Its additional applications are water heating, radiant floor heating, space heat.
Solar heating technologies are reliable, simple, nature-friendly and cost effective way of harnessing the suns energy for homes and business centers. With the latest tax credit reduction of 30% of the system cost that will benefit you on purchase of solar power you are into a rich harvest of course. More than 1.5 million homes and businesses in the United States have invested in
