Thermal solar energy: household heaters and big consumers

What is a solar heater or a solar boiler?

Solar heaters use sunlight to heat up water by using empty glass tubes or flat panels, they also have a thermal tank where heated water accumulates using solar irradiation heat transfer.

How does a solar heater or solar boiler work?

By taking advantage of the sun’s heat to warm up water to save you money from the gas bill, this photothermal system can use the sun’s thermal energy for warming up the water that you use in your home or business without using any kind of fossil fuel. The solar heater works in a very simple way and is resistant to the outdoors.

The solar or boiler heaters are installed on the roof of the residence or business and can generate up to 80 percent of the hot water used. The tank water heater has enough space to accumulate hot water to be used in cloudy days for up to 72 hours.

The thermal solar energy collectors are classified as low, medium and high temperature collectors:

• Low-temperature collectors (those that reach a maximum of 122 ºF). Used to heat up water, also known as a solar panel collector.
• medium-temperature collectors (those that reach a maximum of 194 ºF). They’re flat panels used to heat up water or air for use in residences or businesses.
• High-temperature collectors (those that reach a maximum of 302 ºF), used for electric energy production.
