How do solar hot water heaters work?

A solar hot water system consists of solar collectors and storage tank.

• The cold water flows from the tank to the solar collector.
• Solar collectors absorb the warmth from the sunlight and use it to heat the water which is stored in the tank.

There are two types of solar collectors – flat plate and evacuated tube.

Types of Solar Hot Water Systems

There are two types of solar hot water system: closed-coupled solar hot water and split system solar hot water. Both types of solar water heaters can be boosted with gas or electricity so you can still have a hot shower on cloudy or rainy days.

Close-Coupled Solar Hot Water

Close coupled or thermosiphon systems are very popular in Australia as they are efficient and cost-effective. This style of system has solar collectors and tank both placed on the rooftop and works on the principle of heat exchange. The cold water flows to the collectors by gravity, gets heated in the solar collectors and stored in the tank.

Split System Solar Hot Water

In split systems, the solar collectors are installed on the roof and the tank on the ground. The hot water is pumped using electricity from the collectors to the tank.
