Home Solar Heating Systems

Home solar heating systems

The modern home needs and uses lots of energy and the costs are high. All this energy is needed to keep your house warm and use all the electric equipment or just to shower with warm water. The energy demand is increasing every day world wide and energy prices are rising. For energy plants it is hard to keep up with the increasing demand and this will have its effects for the consumer. It has already happened in states like California where energy demands could not be met and total chaos was the result.

Home solar heating systems are the solution
The solution for this problem can be found in alternatives for traditional energy sources. One of the alternatives is solar energy. The advantage with this source of energy is that it can be used by a single household through individual systems. The generated energy can be used to complement the traditional hot water supply, if you live in area where sunlight is in abundance it can be substitute the whole traditional electric supply.  

Solar heating system uses the energy of sunlight to provide heat on a certain structure. It can be used to heat water or to supply heat for a heating circuit that makes inside the house warm.

A solar heating system generally consists of the following components:

1) A fluid system- it transports the converted energy from the panel to its point of usage.

2) A solar heating panel- this panel collects the sunlight that will be converted into thermal energy.

3)  Heat reservoir- this stores some of the heat produced for subsequent use.
