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 –

Understanding the Types of Northern Lights Solar Water Heaters

Solar water heaters are the easiest possible ways to harness the solar energy directly. Northern Lights pre-packaged solar water heating kits are easy to install and provide unparalleled performance and safety. They are widely used in commercial premises like hotels, Laundromats, restaurants, car washes etc. Here are a few types of solar water heaters discussed below: Pre Heat Solar Tank System Pre Heat Solar Tank System comes with two tanks, first is a solar pre heat tank and is a basic solar hot water storage tank. This pre-heat tank is used to provide warm water to an existing hot water tank. This heating kit is the most common retrofit as it utilizes the existing hot water tank and requires very little retrofit to the plumbing. The main supply line is routed to the pre-heat tank and drawn back into the supply after it is heated. However, the most efficient solar water heaters use the basic theory of stratification. In the stratification process, the solar water heater...

Solar Water Heaters for Pools: An In-Depth Efficiency Analysis

Harnessing the Solar Energy to Heat Your Pool Solar pool heaters are rapidly gaining popularity as pool owners seek eco-friendly and affordable ways to extend their swimming seasons. If you are wondering how efficient a solar water heater is actually for a pool, please dive into this blog post and find out. Considering the Efficiency Factor The efficiency of a solar pool heater depends on factors, like: Geographic location – The regions receiving abundant sunshine naturally benefit more from solar water heaters for pools. Pool size – Large-size pools need more solar panels to achieve desired temperatures. Panel quality - High-quality solar panels absorb enough solar energy for heating pool water. Installation - Proper pool heating system installation maximizes overall efficiency. On average, solar pool heaters can increase water temperature by 5 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Even if it might not be enough for colder climates during peak winter months, it can significantly extend th...
