Advantages of Solar Air Collectors

Solar air heating systems can inexpensively supply a major part of heat demand in a home or building using passive solar in combination with a solar powered PV fan. They draw in fresh air from outside and circulate it through a labyrinth of black aluminum solar air heating panels with a special selective coating to absorb maximum heat possible. Through a PV fan, this heated air is driven into the dwelling for transferring energy without further loss. This mechanism works best for the summer, spring and fall months while bringing an increase in internal temperature from 20-40 C (70-90 F)! In colder climate conditions such as Northern America, the outside temperature can go down to-30-40 F and in such situations the basic solar air collectors like SAH30 won’t be able to provide enough heat. However, the advanced models like SAH34 are designed to efficiently draw in air from the building or its basement and making it pass over the solar air heating panel to reheat and get blown into the living area. This is the smart technique which enables the solar air collectors to deliver enough of heat energy even in -40 F.

Today’s solar air heaters undoubtedly aim at minimizing the space heating costs and supplying warm clean heating by utilizing a renewable source of energy as much as possible.

The core part of any active solar air heating system consists of the solar air collectors, which capture and absorb most of the solar energy before converting it into heat. Presently, solar air collectors are not so widely used: On an international front, there is a limited number of manufacturers engaged in the production of solar air collector systems. The air collectors are all digitally thermostatically controlled so you can expect the fan to automatically turn off when a specific temperature is reached.

Placing the solar air collectors on a straight surface offering the best angle between the solar heating panel and the sun will yield better results in winter, spring, and autumn. The place must be in that direction where there is the highest scope for sun exposure with little obstructions.

Solar air collectors function in any sunlight condition, serving as a renewable supplement to any existing heating system at the daytime by saving around 50% of the energy cost.

Applications:-

They are the perfect choice for cottages, workshops or garages, trailers, even hunting shacks or ice fishing.

Advantages:-

The main advantage of solar air collectors is that they are available in easy to install DIY kits; saving the homeowner the installation as well as investment cost. Another useful thing is that they don’t require wiring or electrical permits. There is completely no operating cost as the solar fan is run by a solar PV module on the collector. And the best part of all is the fan speed increases automatically with an increase in the sun’s intensity. There is little risk of solar air collectors overheating in the summer season as the users can make minor adjustments in the temperature setting to prevent the system from turning on. The digital thermostat is also powered by the solar panel in order to avoid the use of batteries or AC power.

Top Reasons Why You Should Consider Using Geothermal Systems

Image
Geothermal systems are not as popular as solar thermal systems but they are an effective green energy option widely used in the USA and Canada these days. These ground source heat pumps tap into the free solar energy just like their solar counterparts, but indirectly by drawing what has already been absorbed in the earth’s surface over time. The performance of the geothermal systems will never be a problem as they are powered by underground temperatures which keep stable and don’t fall drastically even in the colder climate conditions as temperatures above the ground often do.    Geothermal systems function as a 2-way air conditioner, serving your heating and cooling needs in a single system. The smart design of these systems allows them to pull heat from the earth through a series of interconnected pipes underground filled with a heat transfer fluid (an antifreeze solution) in the winter directing it to the house. However, they work opposite in the summe...

Buying 2.0 Ton GeoCool Geothermal Heat Pump Kit

Geothermal systems extract heat from the earth’s surface. This clean, renewable energy source depends more on the consistency of underground temperature instead of the fickle weather above the ground. If you’ve visited a cave or mine, you may be aware of this phenomenon.   Used for both cooling and heating purposes, the geothermal systems can be found almost anywhere. As more countries and cities around the world work to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, more areas consider this clean source of power. Conventional geothermal kits work by using pumps to heat or cool fluid and bring above ground to control temperature inside home. Though it may sound like a relatively new type of technology, the heat energy has been used successfully. Currently, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the geothermal heating systems are installed in 50,000 American homes every year.

How Do You Buy the Best Inverter for Solar PV Systems

Do you want to ensure your solar panel operating efficiently and no interruptions? Probably, you should consider either microinverters or power optimizers. SolarEdge is the premier power optimizer in the United States, whereas Enphase leads for microinverters.   Making a decision of which inverter to choose for solar PV systems can be difficult. The product warranties make a great difference. Are you standing on a fence of choosing between SolarEdge and Enphase? Let us help you out: SolarEdge vs. Enphase – Both Enphase and SolarEdge come with a strong 25-year warranty. Enphase doesn’t cover labor costs if you want to replace the products under the warranty. The warranty for their monitoring system is much lower than SolarEdge. SolarEdge can offer you the option for an extended warranty for their inverters. When you buy SolarEdge power optimizer, the extended warranty may be worthwhile. It’s due to the reason that string inverters don’t last long li...
