Solar water heaters
We offer supply, installations and maintenance of solar water heaters for residential and commercial use.
How Solar Water Heating Works
Solar water heating is a simple process. Water is heated by the sun while it goes through a solar panel or collector and then is stored in a tank. The process is repeated over and over and every time higher temperatures are achieved. It’s a slower process and that’s why a storage tank where the water can be kept and sent back to the solar collector to get heated again is necessary.
Benefits of solar water Heating
- Zero energy bills – solar water heater uses energy from the sun. In essence, this means that you won’t be paying a cent to use power. You will be enjoying free energy
- Efficiency – solar water heating convert approximately 80% radiation into heat energy. One of the primary reasons they far outweigh any other form of energy when it comes to heating water is the efficiency they bring forth.
- Safe for the Environment – The world is going green, and there is no greener energy than the one from solar panels. It has zero emissions and a lower carbon footprint. The solar water heating panels will lower your carbon footprint making it a good way to protect the environment.
Types of Solar Water heaters
There are two main types of solar water heaters technologies
Evacuated Tube Collectors
They are evacuated glass tubes containing a copper rod filled with a special glass. The sun rays are captured by the glass, trapped within the tube by the evacuation technology that ensure no heat is lost (like a thermos), the copper gets heated and heats up the gas

Flat plate Collectors
Flat plate are provided with a special glass that captures as much sunlight is possible and a series of copper rods where the water goes through and gets heated.
