Why Do You Invest in a Compact Solar Water Heater?

Are you looking to invest in an affordable solar water heating system? If yes, then you should look no further than an integrated or compact solar water heater. Northern Lights compact solar water heating system uses the performance-driven TZ58 1800 SunRain solar collectors.

These collectors are specifically engineered for the residential hot water purposes. They come with a storage tank and heat pipe vacuum tubes integrated to a unit. These units are SRCC certified for accommodating hot water requirements of a family of four to five persons. They have the 80 galloon stainless steel made water tank. The tank is heavily insulated for enormous performance and efficiency.

Generally, the compact solar water heater needs to be installed on a south facing roof or on the ground with a 45 degree frame system. You can install and connect this system easily. The cold water intake connects to one end and the hot water supply to the other end.

The heat pipes contain 30 tubes present inside the storage tank. The water gets heated by transferring energy from the vacuum tubes to the heat pipes and directly to the potable water. The hot water goes to the top of the storage tank where it starts supplying hot water to the home.

Typically, a compact solar water heater is considered as efficient unit and requires no maintenance. It uses a vacuum tube with a heat pipe and an internally sealed heat exchanger. There’s no need to worry about when a tube gets damaged. You just replace the damaged tube and the system continues working without this tube.

No Requirement of Electricity –

A compact solar water heater is a pressurized system. It won’t contain any pumps. Water moves through the system by using the pressure from the municipal water supply. As soon as you open your water faucet, hot water from the storage tank flows outside and the cold water goes inside the tank for heating by using solar evacuated tubes.

No Excessive Heating –

This type of solar water heater comes with a built-in air release valve and temperature and pressure valve which opens at 90 C or 194 F. when the system gets hot, it will vent off the excess amount of heat.

Durability –

Both interior and external tanks are made from stainless steel in order to prevent rusting. Hence, compact solar water heater is well-known for its durability.

Affordability –

The cost of this system is slightly more than an ordinary water tank. But its life expectancy is around double as the system does not use any heating element or gas burner which will fail eventually. In addition, you’ll take advantage of 30% federal tax credit and state tax credits provided for the OG-300 Certified Complete Solar Water Heater.

The hot water tank doesn’t need any professional installation. You can install it quickly or take help from a general contractor. Typically, the payback for this solar water heater is one to three years.

Bottom Line –

What Are the Best Practices for Extending Your Pool Season with Solar Heating?

When the sun's warmth lingers, and you're not quite ready to say goodbye to your pool, solar heating offers a fantastic solution. Solar pool heating systems can extend your pool season, ensuring you can enjoy the water well into the cooler months. However, to make the most of your solar heating system and prolong your pool season effectively, you need to follow some best practices. In this article, we'll explore these practices, providing you with the knowledge to maximize your pool enjoyment while minimizing your energy costs. 1. Optimize Solar Collector Placement: The effectiveness of your solar heating system depends significantly on the placement of your solar collectors. To maximize exposure to sunlight, ensure that your collectors are positioned in an area with maximum sun exposure throughout the day. South-facing rooftops or open areas with minimal shading are ideal locations. 2. Use a Solar Pool Cover: A Solar pool cover is an invaluable companion to ...

Understanding Different Types of Solar Water Heating Systems

When it comes to buying solar water heating systems, they can be either active or passive; but the most common ones are the active systems. Active solar water heating systems use heat pumps while passive systems operate on thermo-siphon or gravity.   Northern Lights solar solutions are dedicated to provide applications based on active solar water heating systems with pumps and controllers designed specifically for the use in the solar industry. Solar water heating systems usually do much more than just heating water inside your home. Using the vacuum tubes, solar thermal heating can be utilized in many more applications. Residential heating, space heating, solar air conditioning and commercial solar heating are some of the applications where solar thermal energy is used. Around $1000s government grants and low interest loans are provided in North America. This is why solar thermal heating has become the fastest growing energy alternative in the United S...

Maintaining Solar Water Heating Systems

The development of green energy is as controversial as ever, but one thing you can’t deny is that – green energy is getting more and more efficient, and more affordable with every passing year. One of the main uses of this energy is implementing the technology of a solar water heating system.   Generally, solar water heaters require less maintenance. However, it’s necessary to check your solar water heater at least once a year to ensure all components are in top condition and to keep the system working perfectly. Some of the components of solar water heating systems that should be monitored include: 1. Solar Collectors – Solar collectors should remain un-shaded. It’s really common for solar panels that were in complete sun exposure when they are installed to receive shading due to tree growth. You may need to trim or remove vegetation. Many states have their solar laws and regulations that protect the rights of a solar homeowner to maintain the s...
