Are you looking for the most affordable solar water heaters available on the market? If yes, then you should look no further than Northern Lights compact or integrated solar water heaters. These units utilize the same high performance TZ58 1800 SunRain Solar Collectors available on all other solar water heating systems at Northern Lights Solar Solutions. 

The solar powered water heaters are specifically designed for residential hot water purposes and feature with the storage tank and heat pipe vacuum tubes integrated into a complete unit. These units are SRCC certified to deliver residential hot water for families with four to five people. They have an 80 galloon stainless steel heavily insulated water tank. 

Generally, the compact solar water heaters are based on the south facing roof or are mounted on the ground with the 45 degree frame system. You can connect and install this system easily. One end of the system connects to the cold water intake from the house and the other end connects the hot water supply. 

Water gets heated through the energy transferred from the vacuum tubes to go to the heat pipes and the potable water. The hot water goes to the top part of the tank where it supplies the hot water needs for the entire household. 

The compact solar water heaters are considered to be highly efficient and maintenance-free systems. They use a vacuum tube with a heat pipe and a heat exchanger internally sealed. So, you don’t need to worry about leakage when the tube is damaged. If the vacuum tube is broken, you should replace the vacuum tube with a new one and the system continues performing without that one tube. 

What Makes Compact Solar Water Heaters Perfect to Use?

No Requirement of Electricity –

The compact solar water heating unit is a pressurized system without any pumps. The water moves through the system through the pressure of the municipal water supply. When you open your hot water faucet, hot water from the tank flows outside and cold water moves inside the tank which will be heated again by the solar vacuum tubes. 

No Excess Heating –

The solar powered systems feature with built-in air release valve, temperature and pressure valve which opens at 90C or 194 F. When the system gets hot, it will simply vent off excessive amount of heat. 

No Rust –

The solar water heating systems have stainless steel made inner tank and outer tank which will prevent rusting. Custom logos are available to label your water heater privately. 

Affordability –

The overall cost of these systems are slightly more than the ordinary ones. Their life expectancy is around double because they don’t have any heating element or gas burner that will fail eventually. However, the OG-300 Certified Complete Solar Hot Water System is available with 30% federal tax credit and state tax credits. 

However, this system doesn’t need any solar professional to get the installation done. You can set it up on your own or by choosing a general contractor. You should consider your local building codes. Typically, the payback of compact solar water heater is one to three years.
