(1) When there is sufficient heat to be drawn from the collectors, a controller automatically activates pumps. (2) Heated solar fluid is then circulated from the collector, (3) through a heat exchanger where its heat is transferred to (4) water in the storage tank. (5) The solar fluid is then pumped back to the collector to once again be reheated. This circulation loop will continue as long as there is heat to be drawn from the collector. During times when there is little or no sun, a backup heating system will be activated to provide adequate hot water

Solar Water Heating
There is something very satisfying about taking a hot shower and knowing that all that soothing warmth came directly from the sun with no energy cost and no emissions. A hybrid solar water heating system is an excellent way to go green with sun power at a much lower initial cost than solar PV. There are many types of solar water heating systems, but we have found that a hybrid preheat system is the most effective, and longest lasting type with the highest return on investment (ROI). Our typical hybrid system is designed to handle 60% to 80% of your hot water needs with a conventional gas or electric heater taking over when needed. Typical payback is less than ten years with a lifespan of 25+ years. Call or e-mail Sunspot Comfort and Energy Solutions today to get your free in-home analysis. We can also design and build custom systems to heat swimming pools and commercial applications.
