Solar Water Heater
Hot water is a daily necessity, whether for bathing, cooking, cleaning, or industrial use. Traditional water heating methods rely heavily on electricity or fossil fuels, which can be expensive and environmentally harmful. Solar Water Heaters (SWH) provide a sustainable alternative by using solar energy to heat water efficiently and cost-effectively.
How It Works
A Solar Water Heater typically consists of:
Solar Collectors – Panels that absorb sunlight and convert it into heat.
Storage Tank – Insulated tank that stores hot water for later use.
Piping System – Transfers heated water from collectors to the tank.
Optional Backup Heater – Provides additional heating during cloudy days.
The collectors capture solar radiation, which heats water directly or via a heat-transfer fluid. The heated water is stored in the tank, ready for use throughout the day.
