How does a solar water heater work?

A solar geyser relies on solar power, which is a source of renewable energy, to work. For a solar water heater to work it requires a set of solar collectors to absorb the solar energy. These collectors are then connected to an insulated tank that stores the hot water. When the sun is out, water is heated in the solar collectors which is then pumped or flown automatically through the thermosyphon principle to the storage tank.

Why should I choose a Solar Water Heater? How much can I save if I use one?

As a solar geyser works on solar power, it cancels out the need for electricity. Let’s take for example a solar water heating system that has a 100 litre per day capacity.

But what’s more important is that it can also save around 140 litres of diesel thereby reducing CO2 emissions. A solar water heater is very useful in areas that experience power cuts. As this solar water heating system is designed with a storage unit, it can provide hot water as and when required. A solar water heater is an one time investment and a lifetime of savings because it runs on the principle of renewable energy.
