| Every solar-water-heating system has a solar energy collector that faces the sun and either heats water directly or heats a fluid that, in turn, is used to heat water. The heated water may be moved through the house with pumping mechanisms (active systems) or by natural convection (passive systems). In almost all cases, solar water-heating systems work alongside conventional gas or electric water-heating systems, which activate when necessary. | ||

The key component of a THERMOSOL® solar water heating
system is the type of solar energy collector used. The most common solar
energy collector for hot water is the flat plate collector. THERMOSOL®
uses glass evacuated tube collectors, which are the most advanced and
highest performing technology available for harnessing and storing high
temperature heat energy from the sun.

The
evacuated tube collectors are more efficient than traditional low
technology flat-plate collectors, that can offer high performance it is
only under operating conditions of high ambient temperature and strong
direct sun. The tubes are more efficient as: · the tubes are vacuumed, they are almost always unaffected by outside temperature or weather conditions. The wind cools the flat-plate collector. · they perform well with both direct sunlight and diffused sunlight. The flat-plate collectors loose their efficiency when clouds and haze reduce the suns intensity. · the evacuated tubes are round, the suns rays are always perpendicular to the tubes, thus reducing reflection. In comparison, a flat-plate collector that is in a fixed position, the sun is only perpendicular to the collector at midday when the sun is directly overhead. In the morning or afternoon the suns rays are reflected which results in wasted energy. |
