Solar Heating Panel Design

A passive solar heating design for making domestic hot water or warming a home requires little or no electricity to operate.

Solar heating panel design.

It is as easy as 1 2 3. Just as it sounds this design replaces the stack of pop cans in the solar air heating panel with standard eaves trough downspouts painted matt black to absorb the sun s rays. When it comes to picking the right solar electric or photovoltaic pv system for your house be sure to explore the various design options available to today s homeowners. We ve selected a few examples of building integrated photovoltaic or bipv systems to get you inspired.

Our solar heating designs have been pre engineered for optimal performance and safety. We take the guess work out of solar heating installations by including pre configured solar heating design packages that have been proven to work. With passive it s all in the design. The same principles apply to this as the pop can solar collector and although you will spend more on materials you ll save a lot on labour and it looks neater.

Introduction a solar heating panel is not just a box with a glass front a black interior and a pair of openings in the back. The air around the absorber warms expands and rises creating a convection current. Any fool can build such a box and many have but very few have managed to heat an entire building with the result. The clear panels admit sunlight and an absorber suspended inside the collector captures the sun s heat energy.

Fewer parts less to go wrong less to take bites out of your pocketbook.
