SOLAR
WATER HEATERS
______________________________

Solar water heaters—also called solar domestic hot
water systems—can be a cost-effective way to generate
hot water for your home. They can be used in any climate, and the fuel they
use—sunshine—is free. Solar waterheaters are also known as domestic hot water systems.
Traditional hot water tanks, unlike solar
solar systems can be expensive.
Take time and browse our solar water heaters site, learn about the different
stages that water goes through to become hot, the different types of solar water heater systems and even how to
cost effectively build your own solar water heater system! There are two types of active solar water
systems:
(1) Indirect circulation - Pumps circulate a non-freezing, heat-transfer fluid
through the collectors and a heat exchanger. This heats the water than then flows int the home. The
indirect circulation system is especiall popular in climates prone to freezing temperatures.
Typically less expensive than the active systems are the passive heating
systems. Also the passive systems are usually not as efficient as the active systems. However, passive
systems can actually be more reliable and may last longer than the passive water systems. (2) Direct circulation
systems
Pumps and circulates household water through the collectors and into the
home. They work well in climates where it rarely freezes.
