Solar Heating and Solar Water Heating by Barrier Insulation, Inc. Phoenix Arizona
There are many kinds of solar heating. There are also many researchers devoted to continually creating more solar heating options in the future. A solar furnace is a type of solar heating device that captures the rays of sun to produce very high temperatures. It accomplishes this by providing a concentrated solar flux which then produces heat.
There are many great advantages to using solar heating today. All the many related innovations currently hitting the market are one. Saving money and helping to truly save the planet offer even greater benefits.
Solar water heating (SWH) systems comprise of several innovations and many mature renewable energy technologies which have been accepted in most countries for many years. We can’t think of a better place in the world than Arizona to take advantage of the sun’s FREE power. Solar water heating has been around for over 30 years, but there is no better time than today to make the switch. Between federal and state tax credits and utility rebates and new state of the art technology, you can get a solar water heater installed for about the cost of a regular water heater.
These systems use the sun to heat either water or a heat-transfer fluid, such as a water-glycol antifreeze mixture, in collectors generally mounted on a roof. The heated water is then stored in a tank similar to a conventional gas or electric water tank. Some systems use an electric pump to circulate the fluid through the collectors.
On top of the obvious monetary considerations, solar energy also helps us cut our dependence on foreign oil, cut down on emissions from burning fossil fuels, and allows us to support our own rapidly growing alternative energy industry. |
