High Efficiency Solar Collector Service Provider-UAE | Viessmann A solar collector is a device used to collect energy from the sun, which absorbs the sun's rays and converts them into heat or electricity. The type of material and cover for the solar collector is used to increase the absorption of solar energy. Solar space heating occurs when the sun shines through the windows of a building and warms the interior. Building designs that improve solar radiation (north of the equator) usually have windows facing south that allow the sun to shine on walls that capture the sun's heat or floor in a building during the winter. Solar energy is absorbed by building materials and heats the interior of buildings with natural radiation and convection. Window holes or shadows prevent the sun from entering the windows during the summer to keep the building cool. Active solar systems have fluid heating systems (air or liquid) and fans or pumps to transport the fluid to the collections, where it is heated, to the inside of the building or to the storage system, where the heat is released, return to the collector for reheating. Active solar water heating systems usually have a solar storage tank.
Benefit for solar collector:
Solar water heaters provide hot water all year round. Reduce utility bills as they can supply one-third of your hot water needs. Reduce your carbon footprint by saving between 30 kg and 510 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. Unlike other renewable energy solutions, solar water heaters have lower maintenance costs and higher durability, as evidenced by their five to ten year warranty.
