Solar Panels Solar water heating is a reliable, efficient and cost saving method of reducing fossil fuel use. It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Typically, up to 30% of a home's energy consumption is used just to heat water for bathing, laundry and cleaning. Our Solar Panels can give you 70% FREE hot water every year.
Solar collectors are usually connected to one of the coils of a twin coiled cylinder, using a sealed circuit containing a special glycol/water solution. This fluid can withstand the high temperatures of a hot summers' day but will also not freeze in temperatures as low as -25oC.
The pump in the system circulates the heated fluid from the panel to the cylinder where the heat is transferred to the stored water through the coil.
By installing a solar hot water system, homeowners may shave off 200 to 500 kilowatt-hours per month off their electric bill, thereby saving money and reducing pollution at the same time. Installing a solar hot water system is typically the first and most cost-effective step when turning to the sun for energy.
