Pre-build Solar Water Systems

Solar water systems for free hot water: an lucrative choice to expensive specialized suppliers

Building your own DIY hot water solar installation is a wonderful job. But you probably won´t each day have the time to start-up a new Homemade project or now and again you just want to skip the hard parts.

When you get a ´pre-build´ hot water solar kit, all parts are made ´ready for installation´. A really detailed manual that comes with the Solar water systems can help you link the solar system to your existing hot water boiler. And this will be far less time consuming than building the installation wholly by yourself from the beginning. I selected two pre-build Hot solar water kits. The one that is best for you largely depends on whether you live in an area where temperatures go below freezing often, or in an area where it hardly ever freezes.

Designed for cool temperatures: The cold Climate Solar hot water kits

If your area is prone to freezing, then a cold climate “closed loop” installation is asked for. In these Solar water systems, a specific non-toxic, freeze-resistant fluid is used, in the place of water, to transport the warmth. This method protects your system from burst pipes during winter or cold nights and provides greater durability and trouble-free process. A closed-loop system is as well recommended in places where the water is hard, because it prevents scaling in the tubes. It´s on the market in a flush or rack mount.

Benefits cool Climate Solar water systems
• “Plug & Play” system
• Has all parts included (excluding piping & storage boiler)
• Can frequently be connected to existing hot water tank
• Wholly protected from too much heat and freezing

The big benefit of the cool Climate Solar hot water kits is it´s effective process. As soon as there is plenty heat to be drawn from the collectors, the controller automatically sets of the pumps. Heated solar fluid is then flowing from the collectors, through the heat exchanger, where its heat is transferred to water in the storage boiler. The solar fluid is then pumped back to the collectors to once more be heated. This circulation loop can go on as long as there is warmth to be drawn from the collectors. In periods when there is little or no sun, a backup heating system can be started to offer adequate hot water.

For warm climates: Warm Climate Solar hot water kits

Warm Climate Solar hot water kits will be an outstanding pick for areas where freezing is not a important worry. In this open loop system, water circulates directly from the solar collector to the reservoir where the water is stored. The simplicity of the Warm Climate system makes it quite inexpensive (in comparison to specialized solar hot water suppliers), however you slash these costs when done entirely Homemade!

Advantages Warm Climate Solar hot water kits
• It´s simple system and Incredibly few components
• will often be mounted to existing water boiler
• Economical solution
• Mild freeze-protection included to a low of 40° F

The huge advantage of Warm Climate Solar water systems is their efficient process. When there is adequate warmth to be drawn from the collectors, the controller automatically turns on a pump, which will pull cold water from the storage tank through the collectors to be heated. Once heated, the water is pumped back down into the storage solar boiler for usage. This process can carry on as long as there is heat to be drawn from the collectors. During times when there is little or no sun, the backup heating panels is going to be turned on to supply sufficient warm water.
