1. Whether it is a flat plate collector or a vacuum tube collector, the solar energy is obtained through the effective lighting area. Therefore, under the same large collector outer ring area, the larger the effective lighting area, the solar energy obtained The more, the less.2. The effective hot water volume of solar water heater refers to how much effective hot water can be obtained by solar system every day, and the hot water can be released and used. It is called effective hot water. The hot water that cannot be released is invalid. The effective hot water volume of the system is also very different. The effective hot water volume of the flat system board is greater than that of the vacuum tube system.3. Flat solar water heaters work outdoors, withstand the sun, wind, rain, etc., the operating environment is relatively harsh. If you can pay attention to it when you use it, clever arrangement and use of the time and amount of water supply will effectively increase the efficiency of the water heater, and will achieve a multiplier effect.4. If it can be properly maintained, it can also effectively extend the life of the water heater. After the water heater is installed and fixed, non-professionals should not easily move or unload it to avoid damage to key components. No debris should be placed around the water heater to eliminate the hidden danger of hitting the vacuum tube. Regularly check the vent holes to ensure smooth flow, so as not to swell or deflate the water tank.

The inner tank of the solar water heater tank is made of food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, and the seals on the inner tank of the tank are all silicone, non-toxic and odorless, which has no effect on the water quality, but the water in the vacuum tube cannot be completely discharged every day. Breeding bacteria, so it is recommended that you do not eat the water in solar water heaters.

Yes,Winter can be used, solar water heaters play a big role in the winter. But pay attention to the temperature is too low, the water pipe is cracked. Although the temperature in winter is relatively low, if we use it normally and ensure that the water in the water heater is flowing, then it will not crack.

Passive solar water heating systems are popular because of their inherent simplicity and reliability, no pumps or controllers or wiring.The storage tank is located on the roof and cold water from the city or well flows directly to the collector on the roof, where it is heated and then flows to your conventional 40 or 60 gallon water heater located on the ground level, and you have storage of hot water in your tank overnight. If you have large morning draws of hot water (ie: showers or baths) most of the collected heat energy returning to your tank is lost overnight, thereby saving you 50-60% of your long term hot water energy costs, compared with close to 85% savings with an Active Open Loop Solar Water Heating System.In the case of a thermosyphon system, an insulated tank on the roof, located above the collector will lower the loss of stored heat during the night, but is not aesthetically appealing. These types are more popular in the islands.

It is used in holtels,schools,hospitals,bath centers,natatoriums,enterprise units,farms,clean centers,household,etc.

Savings of 20% on tankless versus up to 85% savings on a solar water heating, is the reality behind your electric bill savings, however the convenience factor of instant hot water is the overriding benefit of a tankless water heating system.  Here is why:The water you use still has to be heated: The amount of energy required to heat a gallon of water to a specific temperature does not change just because it is being heated at a faster rate.A tankless water heater only eliminates energy costs for maintaining the temperature of water that has already been heated and is sitting in the storage tank awaiting use. Standby losses of (approx 5 minutes out of an hour)So a tankless water heater is saving about 15 to 20% percent of water heating costs compared with solar at 85% savings over a conventional tank type electric or gas water heater.And tankless water heaters do have drawbacks. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “Sometimes … even the largest, gas-fired model cannot supply enough hot water for simultaneous, multiple uses … taking a shower and running the dishwasher at the same time can stretch a (tankless) water heater to its limit.”Naturally, you can overcome this problem by installing multiple tankless water heaters. On the other hand, the total installation cost for more than one tankless water heater easily approaches the cost of a single solar water heating system.  Additionally, Solar water heating systems useful life is over 30 years.

In both direct and indirect systems, automatic recirculation is used for freeze protection. When the water in the collector (panel) reaches a temperature near freezing, the controller turns the pump on for a few minutes to warm the collector with water from the tank and repeats until temperatures are above freezing.In addition there is a freeze protection valve located at the collector, when the copper piping connected to it reaches 45 degrees, it opens allowing a small amount of water to trickle out of the collector (panel) and simply runs off the roof.A third option (not necessary) allows you to manually drain the collector (panel) of approx. 3 gallons of water if you so choose. Ask us more and we advise you.Collectors are basically of 3 types namely Flat Plate Collectors, Evacuated tube, and Passive, thermosyphon. Solar Flat Plate collectors are the most widely used collectors for Water Heating systems because of their Simplicity in design, easy operation and Installation & they return the highest payback per dollar invested.

We are the manufacturer of solar water heater.

Many regions seldom experience freezing temperatures while others deal with them much of the year. Chances are, if you live in climate where the temperatures drop below freezing frequently, the solar heater you purchased and installed is already geared to handle the changing conditions.Many of the regions that experience the coldest temperatures don’t lack sunlight during the winter, so ensuring that your solar hot water heaters functions year round is mainly an issue of freeze prevention.First, the pipes, or as little as possible of them, should not be exposed. This is not as necessary if you operate a closed loop system with antifreeze. However, some closed loop systems circulate water as the heat transfer liquid which could freeze even during the day.Closed loop systems pump a heat transfer liquid such as antifreeze into the solar collector. This liquid is heated by the sun and then pumped back to the storage tank where a heat exchange transfers the heat energy to potable water. Antifreeze will not fail during cold weather conditions, but you before the onset of winter you should check the amount of it. Any failure of the system during the winter could deprive your home of hot water.water automatically drains out of the collector when there is no sunlight and no further water is pumped into it, drain back systems have a built-in freeze protection. If temperatures are below freezing even when the sun is out, drain back systems could still be at risk of freezing.
