High Performance Flat Plate Solar Collector

79 Gallon (300 Liter) Solar Storage Tank

159 Gallon (600 Liter) Solar Storage Tank

How It Works:

There is a heat transfer fluid in the collector that is circulated between the collector and the storage tank. The fluid is a non toxic propylene glycol, so it will not freeze. In the storage tank there is a heat exchanger that heats and circulates the water until the storage tank reaches the set temperature (Max. 205° F). The water temperature is set at the tank the same way you would set a standard electric tanked water heater.

After this is done, the storage tank works just like a standard tanked water heater. A back-up heating source will be needed in cloudy/colder climates, however this is almost never needed in sunny areas such as California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, etc.                 

This system will provide enough hot water for a family of four. However, as with all alternative heating systems, lower usage would have to become the lifestyle in order for this technology to yield the energy savings that most people are looking for. This change in lifestyle is much easier to accomplish than most people realize.        

This system would also work very well to heat the incoming water for a tankless water heater and therefore save a lot of the energy cost to heat the water to the tankless heaters set point. You would still need a collector and storage tank to accomplish this. Please click the links below to view these products:
