Solar Hot Water Collectors
Active Closed Loop Solar Hot Water System With Glycol
Closed Loop Solar Hot Water Systems use a heat-transfer fluid, typically a water and glycol (anti-freeze) mixture, to capture heat and a heat exchanger to transfer the heat thermally to household water. Active Closed Loop Solar Hot Water Systems use electric pumps, valves, and controllers to circulate the heat transfer fluid through the solar collectors. The water-glycol mixture makes these solar hot water systems particularly useful in areas that are prone to freezing conditions throughout the year.
Below is an example of a passive water heater setup. However, we recommend, sell, and only install active systems as shown above. Why? Weather aside, the main reason is Active Solar Hot Water Systems Using Glycol are more efficient.
Solar Hot Water Collectors & Tank
Passive Solar Hot Water System
A passive solar hot water system, aka: thermo siphon solar water heater, relies on natural convection to circulate the hot water. Hot water naturally rises so no mechanical pump (AC or DC) or access to electricity for a pump is needed. It is essential in a passive solar hot water system that the storage tank is higher than the solar collectors. As long as the sun shines, water in the solar collector will heat up. As the water gets hot it will move slowly upward into the tank and the colder water will descend to replace it. The added weight of the storage tank, which is usually mounted horizontally above the solar collectors on the roof, must also be taken into consideration.
