Solar Water Heaters in Fresno, CA by Donald P. Dick Air Conditioning

Your Solar Hot Water Heater Options

There are two basic types of solar hot water heaters to choose from when you decide to go solar: integrated storage collection systems, also known as batch systems, and flat–plate collectors, also known as indirect. Batch collectors can be active or passive systems, depending on your needs. With this type of system, a collection box holds a series of tubes that are filled with water; the water inside the tubes heats up throughout the day via solar thermal energy, and once fully heated, is stored in a solar collector tank that can keep the water for months. A flat–plate collector system is an active system that has a process similar to a batch collector, but instead of heating water, the system heats an environmentally–friendly, heat–absorbing fluid via the flat–plate. Once heated, the fluid flows to a heat exchanger that resides in a hot water storage tank placed in your home, and the heat from the fluid transfers to the water in the tank, providing your home with hot water.
