The basics of solar water heaters
We find that many homeowners know that solar water heaters exist but they’re not entirely sure how they work. Essentially, they all work based on the same principle: Water goes from your water supply into what’s known as a solar collector. The sun then heats it and it moves into an insulated storage tank. It stays there – hot – until you need.
Not all residential solar heaters work the same way
While the basics are the same among all residential solar heaters, there are of course differences between various options. One main difference is how the water actually travels within the system described above. For example, an active solar water heater will utilize an electric pump to get water from the supply line to the area where it’s warmed and then to the storage tank.
On the other hand, a passive solar heater counts on the natural tendency of hot water to rise. It then moves the water from the collector to the tank. As you can imagine, this means that the tank must be located above the collector.
