Solar water heaters use sunlight to heat water for domestic water heating needs, swimming pools, industrial purposes and more. A solar water heater is the best method for cutting a household's carbon footprint by reducing dependency on fossil fuel usage. It also the most eminent source of energy nowadays. Solar energy is the primary energy source for our earth as it is responsible for providing energy for all life, and providing the warmth that makes our planet habitable. A regular solar water heater consists of collector, an insulated tank and pipes. There are two types of solar water heating systems: active, which have circulating pumps and controls, and passive, which don't. Active solar water heating circulates household water over the collectors and in the home. They are working in weather where it hardly freezes. Whereas with indirect circulation systems mix a heat-transfer, non-freezing fluid over the collectors and heat exchange. This warmth the water which flows into the home. Passive solar water heating systems are typically less expensive than active systems, but they're usually not as efficient. However, passive systems can be more reliable and may last longer. Most solar water heaters require a well-insulated storage tank. Solar storage tanks have an additional outlet and inlet connected to and from the collector. TEO Solar has been installing solar water heaters for more than three decades, and we have experienced crews to provide a fast, efficient, seamless installation. We offer solar installations in Deland, New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange, and the surrounding communities. If you are in the area and have questions on anything solar, please contact us at 386-437-2671.

This solar heating device is made of the solar collector and storage tank connected with inlet and outlet pipes.

This system works on the thermosiphon principle and is designed to provide hot water without consuming expensive electricity.

Solar water heating systems almost always require a backup system for cloudy days and times of increased demand. Conventional storage water heaters usually provide backup and may already be part of the solar system package.

The fluid used for heat transmission is distilled water. It flows through the collector loop and serves as the medium. With the aid of the pump, the water passes through the collectors. A non-pressurized system is the Drainback Solar Water Heating System. When the pumps are turned off, the system shuts down. Water flows by gravity to the heat exchanger and the storage tank. Additionally, the device includes a preset that disables it when the water in the storage tank becomes too hot. Installation of a sizable pipe infrastructure is required for a drainback solar water heating system. It is more practical, nevertheless, as it does not require check valves, pressure gauges, air vents, etc.
