    Solar heaters enable heating of water by the use of direct sun rays using a solar thermal collector which generate hot water for your home.It is mainly used for residential and some industrial applications.

    Solar water heaters have a collector and a storage tank that uses the sun thermal energy to heat the water and its size is determined by the temperature of hot water required.

    How it works

    The electric heating system is activated as the water in the tank falls under a minimum temperature setting thus leading to availability of hot water. The water is mostly preferred for bathing and washing since the supply and demand are better matched.

    Without heat exporting pumps the heater provide little or no overheat regulation and utilize little or no freeze protection unless the collectors are freeze tolerated.

    Its components

    A collector – they collect the radium from the sun, capture and retain heat from it (sun) and use it to heat a liquid.

    Flat plate solar – are extensions to a collector in an oven directly facing the sun

    Pump

    Tank- used to store the water for later use.

    Controller – this starts the pump when the water is in the collector.

    Factors to consider when purchasing
