Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems from The Energy Outlet

Solar domestic hot water system supplied by The Energy Outlet is equipped with a solar collector, pump, automatic check valve, automatic controller, solar storage tank and backup heating element.

Intelligent automation is the main feature of solar domestic hot water system.  The solar hot water system turns on and off daily and absorbs heat regularly with the solar collector. The automatic controller alerts the pump when it should run and also allows the automatic check valve to open at the same time. The pump takes cold water from the solar storage tank. It circulates the water through the solar collector and sends back the heated water to the tank. This cycle continues till the sun is available to supply heat. When heat is not available, the controller turns off the pump and closes the check valve.

The backup heating element attached to the hot water system can provide additional hot water when more hot water is required.  Solar domestic hot water systems can be installed with a PV panel at the collector along with a 12V pump, which can operate during power cuts to provide hot water. The major elements in the solar hot water system can last for years with proper care and maintenance. The freeze valves and vents require occasional replacement. By flushing the tanks once a year, regular maintenance checkup, checking for leakage, checking the insulation and antifreeze system, users can make solar domestic hot water systems work efficiently and ensure long service life.
