How does such a Solar Water Heating System work?

FAQs - GEDA
Your Solar Water heating System is designed to operate on thremosyphon or natural convection principle. The driving force for circulation in such a system is derived purely from the density difference between hot and cold water. No mechanical or electrical device is used to pump water through the solar collector. As the water gets heated it becomes lighter, and so tends to " automatically" rise, and in turn is displaced by the comparatively heavier cold water from the storage tank.

Are solar water heating systems reliable?

Kingeagle Solar Energy lndusttial co.Ltd
Properly designed and installed systems with glass-covered collectors should perform well for more than 20 years. Controllers, like other electronic devices, may require servicing during the life of the system, and the pump and hot water tank may have to be replaced after 10 years. Since conventional water heaters have the same expected lifetime, water tank replacement costs are not regarded as unique to solar energy systems.
