Solar water heating is a small part of the entire solar heating subject. In british climate large amount of energy you use annually goes to make domestic hot water. In sunny days this water might be prepared using solar energy with a help of solar water heater.
The solar water heater in most cases is not one device, but a system consisting of at least three components:
- solar thermal panel, the device that makes the hot water using solar radiation,
- storage tank, well insulated, that holds the hot water from time it’s prepared to the time you open the tap,
- pump and controller that turns the pump on only when the sun is shining (except for the thermosiphon systems).
