What is a solar water heater?

Solar water heaters are buildup out of 4 components;

The solar collector; this the most important part, it’s more or less a box with copper tubing inside with lots of surface area and painted black.

The sun will heat up the collector, moving liquid inside the tubing picks up the heat and gives this of at the heat exchanger, which is connected to your hot water tank.

A differential thermostat (which measures the temperature between storage tank and solar collector) engages or stops the pump.

To purchase a solar water heating system set you back $3-4500, which is paid back in 5-8 years (this is depending on your hot water use. Calculate here)

Save on your water heating bill.
