Benefits of Solar water heating

Image
Solar water heating or SWH is the process of converting sunlight into energy which will then be used for domestic water heating. This heated water is often used for laundry within the home, radiant floor heating, or to heat swimming pools. Solar water heating systems use an outsized number of various technologies and these technologies are often used almost anywhere within the world. Each of these systems includes two main components - storage tanks and solar collectors. Additionally, there are two main sorts of solar water heating systems: active systems with circulating pumps and passive systems without pumps. There are two distinct sorts of active solar water heating systems that utilize pumps. They are: Direct circulation systems: In these systems, pumps circulate water through collectors and into the house. These systems work well in climates where it doesn't reach freezing temperatures alternatively the water could freeze and break the system. Indirect circulation systems: T...

Solar Electric Panels for Your Home

What Is a Solar Inverter?   At the beginning of the solar industry, there were central solar inverters, and since their introduction, they have pretty much dominated the industry. However, the introduction of power optimizers and microinverters created an enormous technology shift within the solar industry. Power optimizers and microinverters optimize production for each solar electric panel while central inverters optimize for the entire system. By optimizing for every panel, every panel performs at its maximum potential. In the long, run, this “smart” technology makes your entire solar array system more efficient. How Do Solar Panels Work on Your Home? That’s a lot of technical information about how solar panels work, so let’s look at how a solar panel array would work on your home. First, sunlight in the form of photons hit the solar panels on your roof or ground mount. The panels convert the energy from freed electrons to DC current, which then flows to an inverter and is con...
