Why Do You Switch to Compact Solar Water Heaters?

Are you looking for the most cost-effective solar water heating systems available? Perhaps you will invest in a compact or integrated solar water heater. The heating system comes with the same High-Performance TZ58 1800 Sun Rain Solar Collectors in all solar water heating systems available at Northern Lights Solar Solutions.

The compact solar water heater is specifically designed for residential water heating purposes. The system has the storage tank and heat pipe vacuum tubes integrated into a complete unit. The unit is SRCC certified to provide residential hot water for a family of four to five people by offering a heavily insulated 80-gallon stainless steel water tank.

Normally, the compact solar water heater is installed on roofing facing the south and is mounted on the ground with the 45-degree frame system. The system is straightforward to assemble and install. The cold water intake from the house connects to one end, whereas the hot water supply is connected to the other. The solar water heater has 30 tubes containing heat pipes inside the tank.

The energy transferred from the solar evacuated tubes to the heat pipes helps heat water and potable water directly. The hot water goes to the top of the storage tank, where it starts supplying hot water to the home. The compact solar water heater is considered a very efficient system and requires no maintenance.

The system uses a vacuum tube, a heat pipe, and a heat exchanger sealed internally. Hence, you won’t need to worry about the leakage and damage of vacuum tubes. Even if the tube is broken, you need to replace the vacuum tube with the new one, and the system continues working without one tube.

The compact solar water heater won’t require electricity

The compact solar water heater is a pressurized system and doesn’t require pumps. The water moves through the water heating system using the pressure of the municipal supplied water. While opening a hot water faucet, the hot water from the storage tank flows outside, and the cold water flows inside the tank, which will be again heated by the solar evacuated tubes.

The compact solar water heater won’t overheat

The compact solar water heaters feature a built-in air-release valve and the temperature and pressure valve that opens at 90 C or 194 F. When the system gets hot, it will simply vent off the excess amount of heat.

The compact solar water heater is made from stainless steel

The compact solar water heaters available at Northern Lights Solar Solutions have stainless steel internal and external tanks to prevent rusting. In addition, custom logos are available to label your water heater privately.

The compact solar water heater is cost-effective

This system costs only slightly more than an ordinary water tank. The life expectancy of the water heater is around double because no heating element or gas burner will fail. In addition, the water heating system provides you with a 30% federal tax credit and state tax credits.

However, the compact solar water heater doesn’t require a solar installer, as a homeowner or a general contractor can install it. The payback of a typical compact solar water heater is one to three years, and the payback period can be as little as three months with a solar water heating system in Hawaii.
