Solar Water Heating in Delaware County
Solar Water Heating Systems can be used in your home or for larger appliances such as swimming pools. If installed correctly, they require hardly any maintenance and can even add value to your home.
There are three main components to a domestic Delaware County Solar Water Heating System:
- Solar Panels - these are fitted to your roof and collect heat from the suns radiation. There are two main types of solar panels, the first being flat panels, which have an absorber plate with a transparent cover to collect the suns heat. The second is evacuated tube systems, which is a row of glass tubes that contain absorber plates that feed into a manifold where heated fluid is transported.
- Heat Transfer System - collected heat is transferred to heat water
- A Hot Water Cylinder - stores hot water that is heated during the day and supplies it for later use
A common concern surrounding Solar Water Heating Systems is what happens if there is not enough sun? A Solar Water Heating System monitors the water temperature and when this temperature becomes to low a backup system will activate to heat the water at the top of the cylinder, while solar power still pre-heats the water in the lower part of the cylinder. Even in winter a Solar Water Heating System accounts for 50% of all your water heating every year.
