Solar Water Heating Systems
Save up to 70% on your heating expenses by using our solar water heating kits
Solar panel absorbs solar radiation falling on it. Water contained in the risers and headers absorbs the heat from the collector (panel) and becomes less dense than the water in the storage cylinder. With the Thermo-Syphon principle, hot water is pushed through the cylinder at higher temperature and cold water from the cylinder simultaneously descends to the bottom header of the collector. From the cylinder, hot water is distributed to all required outlets.
Solar water heating systems are available in varying capacities to heat water by an average 60°C using 2.4M² solar panels of 2M² to achieve 20% more energy.

For commercial, industrial and institutional applications, the hot water systems are individually designed for storage capacities of up to 6500 litres & panel areas of hundreds of square meters. Here circulator pumps are used to pump water from hot water cylinders to collectors. The pump is triggered on & off by automatic temperature differential control unit. These systems have a greater control on output temperature and can deliver up to maximum temperature of 80°C , which can be used as feed water for boilers, cooking and sterilization for hospitals.
Solar Pool Heating
Solar pool heating systems work by pumping water from swimming pool through stabilized absorber strips positioned to receive solar radiation and then returning water to the pool. An automatic control ensures the pool maintains temperature up to 7 degrees above the ambient solar water heating systems. Extend your swimming pool by 2-3 hours per day and the season by up to 3 months effectively.
