How it works

Solar water heating or solar hot water is water heated by the use of solar energy (heat or radiation).

Solar water heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collector(s), a water storage tank, interconnecting pipes and a pump to move the heat from the collector to the tank via a fluid medium (water).

This thermodynamic approach is distinct from semiconductor photovoltaic (solar power) cells that generate electricity from light, not heat; solar hot water deals with the direct heating of liquids by the sun where no electricity is directly generated.

A solar water heating system may use electricity for pumping the fluid, and have a reservoir or tank for heat storage and subsequent use.

The water can be heated for a wide variety of uses, including home, business and industrial uses.
