Solar water heating systems use solar panels, to collect heat from the sun and use it to warm water which is stored in a hot water cylinder. A boiler or immersion heater can then heat this water further until it reaches the temperature set by the cylinder's thermostat. (This should be set at 60 degrees centigrade.) Larger solar panels can also provide energy to heat your home as well - though usually only in the summer months when home heating is unnecessary
BENEFITS OF Solar water heating
#Hot water throughout the year: #the system works all year round, though you'll need to heat the #water further with a boiler or immersion heater during the winter months. #Cut your bills: sunlight is free, so once you've paid for the #initial installation your hot water costs will be reduced. #Cut your carbon footprint: solar hot water is a green, renewable #heating system and doesn't release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants
