Solar Hot Water System Components





List of component’s you’ll need. 

  •  Solar Thermal Collector -  Converts the sun's energy into heat.

  • Solar Storage Cylinders/Tank - Storage tank is where the heat from the collectors is stored.

     

  • Expansion Tank - Solar fluid expands when it gets heated, the expansion tank is a place holder for expanding fluids.

     

  • Solar Stations - Solar stations regulate the flow.

     

  • Mounting Hardware - There are different types of mounting hardware utilized based on the type of roof.

 

These are the basic components needed for a solar system. This system is probably the most cost efficient, beneficial system of all the ways of converting solar energy to heat.
