Are you looking for the most affordable solar hot water heaters available on the market? If yes, then you should look no further than the Northern Lights compact or integrated solar water heaters. They use the high performance TZ58 1800 SunRain Solar Collectors. These systems are perfectly engineered for residential hot water purposes.

How Do Compact Solar Water Heaters Work?

Generally, the compact solar water heater sits on a roof that faces south and is mounted on the ground with the 45 degree frame system. The connection and installation of the systems are quite easy and simple. The cold water intake from the house connects to an end whereas the hot water supply to the other one.

The heat pipes contain 30 tubes which are present inside the tank. The water gets heated through the energy transfer from the vacuum tubes to the heat pipes and then transferred directly to the potable water. The hot water goes to the top of the tank where it starts supply hot water to the house.

However, the compact solar water heating systems are considered to be highly efficient in the industry and don’t require maintenance. They use a vacuum tube with a heat pipe and an internally sealed heat exchanger. You don’t need to get stressed about the leakage when a tube is damaged. If you find a tube broken, you should replace the vacuum tube with a new one and the system performs continuously without that tube.

Why Do You Install a Compact Solar Hot Water Heater?

1. No Requirement of Electricity

Compact solar hot water heaters are pressurized systems and don’t come with pumps. The water moves throughout the water heating system through the pressure of the municipal water supply. While opening your hot water faucet, hot water from the storage tanks flows outside and the cold water flows inside the tank which will be heated again by the solar vacuum tubes.

2. No Hassle of Overheating

The compact solar water heating systems feature with built-in air release valve, temperature, and pressure valve which opens at 90 C or 194 F. When the system gets hot, it simply vents off the excessive amount of heat.

3. Rust-free

In addition, the OG-300 Certified Complete Solar Hot Water System is available with 30% federal tax credits and state tax credits. Moreover, you won’t require an expert solar installer to set up the hot water tank.

You can install it quickly or by hiring a general contractor. Only you need to check your local building codes. The payback of the compact solar hot water system is one to three years. This means, you will receive higher returns on your investment within less time.
