In the average residential building, most of the energy that is consumed is used to meet very simple thermal needs for making domestic hot water or for space heat and it can be provided in a number of ways, such as oil, gas, wood, coal, etc. But you can also use the sun's energy to meet those needs. Solar energy is free and can be controlled by no one. There is enough solar energy shining on the typical house to meet most of its energy needs. This seminar will explore various traditional methods of manufacturing domestic hot water via a solar system including tankless coils, electric and gas tanks and indirects.
We will begin by taking a look back at the history of solar hot water production and revisit some of the lessons that have been learned. Solar heating systems have improved over the years. New concepts mean that solar is more efficient than ever so we will take a look at where we are today and how the equipment has evolved. We will discuss the differences between flat panel collectors and evacuated tube collectors and their individual characteristics. All of the components will be shown with emphasis on their operation. Some installation guidelines will be discussed and actual installations will be shown. Current utility and government incentives will also be covered.
