Solar water heating operates by utilizing sunlight to heat water for residential or commercial use. The system typically consists of solar collectors, a storage tank, and a circulation system.
Solar collectors, usually mounted on rooftops, absorb sunlight and convert it into heat. This heat is transferred to a fluid (usually water or antifreeze) that circulates through the collectors and into the storage tank. Depending on the system design, either direct or indirect methods are used to heat the water, ensuring that it remains at a desired temperature for use.
Solar water heaters use solar collectors to capture heat from the sun and warm water for your home. In Kiambu’s sunny climate, these systems can provide hot water year-round. While most solar water heating systems don’t use solar panels in Kiambu (they use thermal collectors instead), they can be combined with solar inverters and lithium batteries for pump circulation and backup heating elements.
We offer various solar water heating solutions including flat plate collectors, evacuated tube systems, and thermosiphon units. For areas with hard water in Kiambu, we recommend indirect systems with heat exchangers. Some advanced systems can integrate with your existing solar panels and lithium batteries for hybrid operation.
Solar water heaters in Kiambu can provide 80-90% of your hot water needs year-round. System capacity ranges from 100L for small families to 500L+ for commercial applications. During cloudy periods, backup heating elements powered by your solar panels or grid connection ensure consistent hot water supply.
Yes, solar water heaters work during cloudy weather, though at reduced efficiency. In Kiambu’s climate, systems maintain water temperature for 2-3 days without direct sunlight. Systems integrated with lithium batteries and solar inverters can use stored solar energy for backup heating during extended cloudy periods.
Solar water heaters require minimal maintenance – mainly annual cleaning of collectors and checking system components. In areas with hard water around Kiambu, periodic descaling may be needed. Systems integrated with solar panels and inverters benefit from our comprehensive solar maintenance packages.
