Solar Water Heating, What is it?

Solar Panels, also known as "collectors", can be fitted to a building’s roof. They use the sun’s heat to warm water, or another fluid, which passes through the panel. The fluid is then fed to a heat store (e.g. a hot water tank) and helps provide hot water or a source of hot water for central heating for the building.


Solar panels work throughout daylight hours, even if the sky is overcast and there is no direct sunshine. Solar panels can also be used to contribute to space heating demand in certain circumstances.

A solar water heater is composed of:

  • A solar collector which absorbs solar radiation (sunlight) and changes it into heat;
  • A pump which transfers the heat from the collector to hot water in a storage tank;
  • The storage tank accumulates the hot water produced by solar energy so that it can be stored for use when needed;
  • A number of accessories which ensure the regulation and the safety of the system;
  • A back-up heater (gas, oil, or wood fuelled boiler, immersion heater or heat pump) which will bring the hot water to the temperature required when there is not enough sunlight to do so (mostly in winter).
