Investing in Compact Solar Water Heater for Residential Hot Water Needs

Like most homeowners, you must be looking for a highly affordable and efficient solar water heating system for residential hot water requirements. What about investing in a compact solar water heater for your home! It uses the same high-performance TZ58 1800 SunRain solar collectors which are available on all Northern Lights solar water heating systems.

This compact water heater is specifically engineered for residential hot water purposes. It comes with a storage tank and heat pipe vacuum tubes. This unit is SRCC certified to accommodate the hot water requirements of a family with four to five people which requires an 80-galloon stainless steel heavily insulated water tank.

When it comes to its installation, normally it should be based on a southern facing roof or mounted on the ground with a 45-degree frame. Remember that, the connection and installation of this system are easy. One end of the system connects to the cold water intake of your home whereas the hot water supply to the other end. The storage tank contains heat pipes which comprise 30 tubes.

The water gets heated by transferring energy from the vacuum tubes to heat pipes and the potable water directly. When water gets hot, it rises to the top part of the tank where it starts supplying hot water for the household.

This solar water heater is a highly efficient and maintenance-free system. It features a vacuum tube with a heat pipe and an internally sealed heat exchanger. You won’t need to get worried about the leakage when the tube gets damaged. When you find a broken tube, you should simply replace it with a new one and the system continues working without one damaged tube.

What are the Main Benefits of a Compact Solar Water Heater?

This system doesn’t require electricity.

This water heater is a pressurized system that doesn’t contain pumps. The water moves throughout the system by using the pressure from the municipal water supply. As soon as you open the hot water faucet, the hot water from the storage tank flows outside and cold water flows inside the tank to be heated by using the solar evacuated tubes.

This system doesn’t heat excessively.

The system features a built-in air release valve, temperature, and pressure valve which opens at 90C or 194F. When the system gets hot, it will vent off the excess amount of heat.

This system is made from stainless steel.

Both the inner and outer tanks of the compact solar water heater are made from stainless steel which prevents rusting.

This system is highly affordable.

This system is only slightly more than an ordinary water tank. The life expectancy is nearly double as it doesn’t contain any heating element or gas burner which will fail eventually. In addition, you will take advantage of the 30% federal tax credit and state tax credits that apply to the solar water heating system.

In addition, you won’t need a professional solar installer for the installation. It can be installed quickly by the homeowner or a general contractor. Get ready to receive payback from the compact solar water heater within one to two years.
