Investing in a solar water heater is a forward-thinking solution that ensures hot water availability throughout the year. Whether for your home or business, it provides an eco-conscious way to meet your daily needs without relying on fluctuating energy prices. With our solar-powered water heater, you can be confident in a reliable, long-lasting system designed for consistent performance.
Here’s what you can expect from making the switch:
At Suntrek, we provide a variety of solar water heaters that can be tailored to fit the specific requirements of residential, commercial, and government applications. Our systems seamlessly integrate advanced solar technology with modern plumbing solutions to efficiently heat water. If you are looking for an energy-efficient option for your home or business, solar water heating from us delivers a practical solution.
We offer several design options, including the following:
1. Integral Collector Storage System (ICS)
The ICS system is a simple design that combines the solar collector and the water storage tank into a single unit. This system requires no pumps or controls, making it easy to maintain.
During the day, the sun heats the water in the ICS unit, and when hot water is needed, the pressure from your household plumbing pushes the heated water into your conventional electric or gas water heater. Since the water is already pre-heated by the sun, the conventional heater doesn’t need to be activated, providing an energy-efficient solution.
Our ICS units, when paired with your standard water heater, can store up to 40 gallons of solar-heated water, offering an excellent option for climates that don’t experience freezing temperatures. The ICS system also acts as a backup heating source for your solar water heater.
2. Thermosiphon Systems
These systems work based on a natural process to transfer solar energy to your water. Thermosiphon systems do not require pumps, sensors, or other moving parts. The system works on the principle that hot water rises and cold water sinks. As sunlight heats the fluid inside the solar collector, the warm fluid rises to the top of the collector and moves into the insulated storage tank.
Meanwhile, the cooler fluid moves down into the collector to be heated, continuing the cycle. Thermosiphon systems are ideal for areas with consistent sunlight, providing an energy-efficient heating for both homes and businesses.
3. Active Solar Water Heating Systems
Active solar water heaters use solar-powered pumps to circulate water or heat-transfer fluids through thermal collectors, making them highly effective for larger or more demanding heating applications.
In open-loop active systems, water is directly heated by the solar energy collected by the system. A circulation pump, powered by solar energy, moves the water through the solar collector.
The pump is controlled by a differential thermostat, which detects when sufficient heat is available. Once the water is heated, it is stored in a tank connected to your traditional water heater, ensuring you always have hot water ready when you need it.
4. Closed-Loop Active Systems
Closed-loop active systems utilize heat exchangers to circulate a heat-transfer fluid through the collectors, keeping it separate from the potable water. This system prevents freezing and ensures dependable operation in colder climates. The heat-transfer fluid absorbs solar energy and transfers it to the potable water in the storage tank through the heat exchanger. A circulation pump moves the fluid, ensuring the process is constant and efficient.
These systems are a great option for areas with cold temperatures, as the closed-loop design prevents the solar fluid from freezing, ensuring hot water availability year-round.
With our diverse solar solutions, we offer a solar water heater that can be customized to meet your needs, ensuring consistent hot water for homes, businesses, and government applications.
