How Do Solar Water Heaters Work?


AbundantEnergy’s solar water heating systems are simple and worry free. In most residential applications One or Two solar panels are mounted securely to the roof of your home. Solar water heating panels are also commonly referred to as “thermal heat exchangers” or “solar thermal” panels. During the day cooler water from your existing or new water heater is circulated through the solar panels to be heated by the suns intense rays. In some applications a heat exchange fluid rather than regular household water is circulated through the solar panels. This is more common in areas where freezing weather occurs more frequently.

All of your super heated solar hot water is stored in your hot water heater tank for you to use in applications like showering, bathing, washing dishes and every day household uses. The energy is stored so you can use it any time of day or night, never having to worry about if the sun is out or not. Don’t worry, you will always have electric as back up.

How Does Solar Electricity Work?

AbundantEnergy uses the highest quality solar panels with world record efficiency and durability to generate solar electric power for your home. The Suns rays are absorbed into solar panels that can be mounted on your roof or on the ground. The energy that is absorbed in the solar panels then flows in to your home just like the electricity that is provided by your electric utility company.

 

If your solar panels produce more electricity than you can use, your electric utility company will buy that additional electricity and apply a credit to your energy bank saving that energy for use later. At night you simply use energy you have stored in your bank or regular power from the utility. No batteries are required!
