What are Solar Water Heating Panels? Where can I get them?
Confused about Solar?
Many people who call me seem to be a little confused as to how solar panels actually work. My view is that the misunderstanding is perfectly reasonable and stems from the general acceptance of solar panels on things like calculators or garden lamps.
These types of solar panels are called photovoltaic solar panels or PV Solar Panels and I will talk about these in more detail another week.
For now I think I should explain about the panels that people are less familiar with but give the greatest opportunity to reduce household fuel costs. These panels are called Solar Water Heating Panels.
Solar Water Heating Panels
Solar Water Heating Panels use the suns radiation to heat water in panels. This panel is connected to your hot water storage tank. When the temperature in your tank is lower than that of the panel on your roof the water is pumped out of the roof panel through a heating coil in your hot water tank. This heats the water in your storage tank. When is is cold and dull outside the pumps leaves the cold water in the roof panel and your storage tank is heating with your conventional boiler.
This simple but effective system is typically capable of heating up to 70% of your annual requirement for domestic hot water.
Given this fact it is probably the most cost effective and way of installing a renewable energy system in your home.
Where do I get this type of Solar Panels?
Well, thats the easy bit. Contact Intelligent Energy Solutions by phone or e-mail and we will be happy to discuss your requirements and if required arrange a meeting.
I hope you find this blog useful.
