How Solar Water Heaters Work

Installing a solar water heater into your home or place or business can substantially reduce your utility bill. As a general rule, water heating usually accounts for 15%-20% or even up to 30% of the energy usage in a person's home. This covers heating water for dishes, laundry, long soaks in the tub and showers. Solar thermal energy can even be used to offer large space heating or even pool or spa heating. Imagine how much energy and money you can save by just making a shift from traditional water heaters to solar thermal water heater systems.

The short video in this page briefly explains how a solar water heater works. Basically, solar heating uses the sun’s rays to heat water in a process known as solar thermal heating. This process involves conducting solar power as heat as opposed to photovoltaic or solar electricity which converts solar power to electricity. In comparison, the solar hot water heater is more advanced than the current photovoltaic system, making it one of the most cost-effective and recommended solar power technology at present.
