Every household utilizes power for its day-to-day needs; the range of needs might vary but the regular utility amongst many households is for their morning activities. The morning activities range over many aspects, the most important one is the bathing activity of the entire family. Every family member will have a hot water bath to begin their day; this is a natural phenomenon across Tanzania and the globe. Mornings should preferably be pleasant and smooth, with reliable solar water heaters, mornings invariably become pleasant and relaxing.
Solar Water Heaters are eco-friendly, low on maintenance, easy to install, durable for a lifetime, and are extremely energy-efficient, the solar water heaters save over 70% of the electricity bills. As renewable energy is the only sustainable option left for the future, solar water heaters and its associated technologies are the only option available to secure the future. Only two models of Solar Water heaters are available such as one with Flat plate collectors and other with evacuated tube collectors.
Flat plate collectors work on copper pipes running through a glass covered collector, often connected to a water storage tank on the roof. Solar energy incident on the collector heats the copper pipes and the resulting hot water is thermo-siphoned out of the storage tank.
Evacuated tube collectors, as the name suggests, consist of two glass tubes fused at the top and bottom. The space between the two tubes is evacuated to form a vacuum. A copper pipe (called a heat pipe) running through the centre of the tube meets a common manifold that is then connected to a storage tank below, thus heating the water during the day. The hot water can be used at night or the next day due to the insulation of the tank.
Available sizes are 100ltrs, 200ltrs, 300ltrs, 500ltrs and their multiples.
