Solar Water Heaters - The Future of Water Heaters
In
a world where ancient, non-renewable energy sources like gas are dwindling, the
necessity and urgency for other ways of powering water heaters are vital. As
such, solar water heaters became a more and more cost-effective different to
traditional forms of water heaters, since they'll be used in any climate and
are supercharged by the sun, a free energy supply during a world where energy
has become a valuable good.
Solar
heaters for residential use usually contain storage tanks and solar collectors.
The two kinds of solar water heating systems are active and passive
systems. The active system has circulating pumps and controls, while the
passive system doesn't. The active solar heating plant consists of two
varieties, the direct and indirect circulation systems. The previous is
effective in climates where it rarely freezes, whereas the latter is effective
in countries prone to freezing temperatures. However, within the long-term, the
passive solar water heating system tends to be more cost-effective and lasts
longer, but not like the active system, is usually less efficient. Passive
systems also sometimes need less maintenance as active systems.
Solar
heating systems sometimes have an energy back-up system just in case of reduced
solar activity and through increased demand, that ensures that the tank is
working even in times of cloudy days.
Decide
on that system to use first, by considering climate conditions, budget,
responsibility, and household demands, before shopping for any solar system.
Consider
the solar source and geographic location initial before making any call. If
one's residence generally receives regular sunlight, enough to power the
system, then one will invest in solar water heaters. Prospective solar heater
contractors will give solar site analysis for client needs if one remains
unsure regarding whether the solar source is comfortable for the system needs
or not. One should also consider how much hot water one uses first before
buying solar water heaters.
When
one has already determined that solar water heaters are a much better
investment than different kinds of water heaters, one must then think of
different issues. This can include value comparison as well as considering the
options of the solar heater. Before buying, the customer should consider whether
the company selling the water heater is licensed, has enough experience not
only in installing the system and able to maintain solar heaters. To analysis
first by requesting a list of happy customers from the company before buying
the system. Generally building code needs and issues of safety should also be
taken into thought before buying any kind of solar water heating system. A
proper, certified company will give such details to the client.
After
getting the system, check with the solar contractor what maintenance plans and
procedures are put in place to make sure that the system is functioning
properly. Solar heating systems need similar plumbing and different maintenance
procedures as regular systems. Maintenance is typically between three to five
years, components replacements from two to ten years, looking on how efficient
and properly maintained the system is.
When
properly and carefully chosen, installed and maintained, a solar water heating
will reduce heating bills by 50-80%. Of course, as discussed above, this is
only possible when careful consideration of several factors.
