Solar home heating systems
have been growing rapidly in the solar water heating market. They are
popular due to their extremely high efficiency and higher operational
temperatures thanks to the solar vacuum tubes. Solar evacuated tube
collector works efficiently in low light conditions and operates
consistently even if the temperature reaches minus 35 degrees.
However,
solar home heating systems are commonly used in the Northern USA,
Canada, and Europe. It can be integrated with an existing heater like a
radiator, in-floor heat, or forced air heater. By combining this system,
you can expect to save up to half of your heating bill. After all,
heating the home consumes a significant portion of your energy bill, and
you can expect the payback within five years.
How Does Solar Heating Kit Work?
A
solar home heating system uses solar evacuated tube collectors to
absorb solar energy. The energy is then transferred to the storage tank
or a concrete pad in-floor heating system. The stored heat is integrated
with the existing heating system to supplement the heat supply.
The
solar-powered heating unit comes with a larger 119-gallon storage tank
which can hold more energy and be used in the evening to supply heat.
It’s necessary as this is when the sun is not shining.
The
heat demand increases during the winter, so the system will require a
secondary dissipation loop to offload the heat in the summer months. If
you own a pool or hot tub home, you can use excessive heat energy during
summer. The home heating system will undoubtedly provide free heat to
your pool and hot tub in the winter.
Alternatively,
a dissipation loop like a buried pipe or exterior fan can be essential
for dumping heat. Finally, you can use a geothermal system to remove the
excess heat in the summer, which helps store it in the ground during
winter.
The solar
home heating system is commonly used in colder regions susceptible to
freezing conditions. The solar-powered unit uses a unique solar glycol
heating fluid to prevent damage caused by the frozen pipes. The special
heating fluid can even work at minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit and at as
high as 480 Fahrenheit.
In
addition, the Northern Lights solar home heaters come with specially
designed solar storage tanks. The tanks are larger and have a storage
capacity of 119 gallons. As a result, they can store over 120,000 BTU
(35 KW) of heat energy at any time.
Moreover,
the solar home heating system can be integrated with solar radiant
floor heating systems, geothermal heating systems, and solar air
heaters. For more information about solar home heating systems, contact Northern Lights Solar Tubs at +1 (800) 317-9054. Rest assured; we’ll suggest the best possible plan for heating your home with solar-powered systems.
