SOLAR PANELS PLUS MAIN. Solar Water Heaters: Solar Hot Water Heaters For Home, Commercia. Solar Panels Plus manufactures its line of SRCC Certified solar evacuated tube collectors to provide efficient, affordable, high performance solar hot water and solar space heating solutions. These evacuated tube solar thermal water heater collectors are manufactured under strict quality control to ensure the best quality product is installed on your home or business. Evacuated tube water heating collectors perform very well in a variety of conditions. This is due to their design, which allows evacuated tubes to benefit from passive tracking.

For more information, see our page on solar passive tracking. Evacuated tubes are excellent for commercial and residential applications alike. For more information on the design of our evacuated tube collectors, please see our page that discusses the design and advatages of our solar evacuated tube collectors. SPP-30 30-Tube Collector The SPP-30 is a high performance, high-efficiency evacuated tube collector for heating water. Product Features. Solar Thermal Technology for solar hot water, solar building hea. Solar thermal is a technology designed to harness sunlight for its thermal energy (heat). This heat is often used for heating water used in homes, businesses, swimming pools, and for heating the insides of buildings (space heating). In order to heat water using sunlight, a solar thermal collector heats a fluid that is pumped through it. As the fluid is pumped through the collector, the fluid becomes heated.

The now heated fluid then is pumped out of the collector and through a heat exchanger. Heat exchangers are usually comprised of copper, and are normally found inside a solar storage tank. The storage tank is an essential element of any solar thermal system, as it allows all the heat being generated by the solar thermal collector to be stored for use whenever it is needed. Solar thermal collectors are classified by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) as high, medium, or low temperature collectors.

High Temperature Collectors System Designs Dish Designs Medium Temperature Collectors. Solar Water Heating Panels - Solar Water Heating with Flat Panel. Solar Hot Water Panels. Solar hot water panels are a means to harness the sun's energy in a unique way. Like traditional solar panels, solar hot water panels are placed in direct sunlight, oftentimes arrayed on rooftops, like in the photograph below: A solar hot water array, often referred to as a solar hot water heater, uses the energy from the sun to heat a fluid, which is in turn used to move heat generated in the array to a heat storage vessel.

The process starts by heating a body of sanitized water and storing it in a hot water cylinder. Next, solar hot water panels would be installed on the rooftop, each with a darkly-coated absorber plate complete with water circulation tubes. The tubes carry the heated water from the solar water heater to a place where it can be used or stored. Solar hot water heaters are composed of a several hot water panel units, and can be fully automated systems. Solar Tracking Solar Collector, Passive Tracking with improved I. Passive Solar Tracking Having the maximum amount of absorber area directly facing the sun causes superior solar collector performance. Because of their round design, Solar Panels Plus evacuated tube collectors are able to passively track the sun, meaning that they are always pointed directly at the sun and can absorb solar thermal energy evenly all day long.

This is important, particularly if the heat is needed throughout the day without using a large thermal storage system. Evacuated tube solar collectors are great for everything from making plain old hot water, to solar heating, solar air conditioning, commercial water heating or manufacturing process heat. By tracking the sun from early morning until late afternoon, more heat is generated by the collector which means that your existing energy source will be used less, saving money and helping conserve precious non-renewable resources Incidence Angle Modifier (IAM) Diagram:Solar hot water heating system, diagram of solar water h.

Solar Battery: Solar Batteries For Off-Grid and Grid-Tied Use, S. Deep-Cycle-Batteries.pdf (application/pdf Object) MPPT Solar Charge Controller: Solar Charge Controllers Designed. DC Air Conditioner: 12 Volt 24 volt 48 Volt DC Air Conditioners. This is the 3rd generation solar air conditioner we've all been waiting for - designed for low cost, easy installation and a fast payback. This unique solar air conditioning technology requires no batteries, no inverter, no controller - just plug in the solar panels and start saving up to more than 80% on daytime cooling or heating costs. During the day it runs primarily on solar power and only uses only small amounts of power from the utility company as needed.

Hybrid operation eliminates the need for batteries and allows 24 hours per day use of the system. The system uses primarily uses solar power, and mixes it with normal AC power. For home or office use, this system will cool an area for pennies with 80% or more of the energy coming from sunlight. ACDC12 solar air conditioners need no batteries, and only need two or three PV panels to deliver a huge savings. Installation Ordering, Pricing & Specifications The Manufacturers List Price on the ACDC12 is $1695. Solar Air Conditioning, Solar Heating: Solar Powered Air Conditi. DC Air Conditioner: 12 Volt 24 volt 48 Volt DC Air Conditioners. DC Air Conditioner Heat Pump. Solar Panels: Solar PV Panels Photovoltaic Panels Solar PV Modul. Solar Panels Plus provides solar photovoltaic modules—also called solar PV panels—in an array of sizes, types and outputs. Solar PV panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity for use in homes, businesses and anywhere electricity is needed.

Solar PV panels work closely with solar inverters. Solar PV modules are composed of a number of solar cells wired together on a single panel. A single solar panel can have anywhere from 60, 72 or more solar cells that convert sunlight into usable, direct current electricity. Solar Panels Plus purchases only the very best components from around the world to manufacture its PV panels. For specific module information, current stock and sizes available, please contact us. SPP-250W PV Module The SPP-250W PV Module is a Buy American Act certified, polycrystalline solar pv panel. This solar panel holds UL, ETL, and TUV certification, along with many other safety ratings, allowing it to be sold both in the US and internationally. Solar Insolation Chart - Shows average USA sunlight available fo. What is Solar Insolation? Solar insolation is how solar radiation - or energy from the sun - is measured. It's also called "solar irradiation", and either measured in hourly or daily outputs.

Usually, professionals in the solar industry use the measurement unit watt-hours per square meter to express the energy. Therefore, the solar insolation - or irradiance - is usually expressed as so many Watts, per square meter, per hour. Therefore, normally when you see a solar insolation chart (such as below), the numbers indicate the average measured watts per square meter per hour.

Solar Insolation Chart This insolation chart shows the estimated average solar production for the United States. Charts such as these are used in many programs that estimate - or model - what the anticipated production of a solar PV panel or solar thermal system will be for any given area.

Overview Solar electric systems are the ideal way to produce your very own power, cutting your monthly energy bills, allowing for energy independence, or even going completely off the grid. These systems are available in small and large sizes, can be custom sized to fit your household, and allow you great independence and energy savings. In many areas, the electricity produced can even be sold back to the grid for even more savings or a profit. Benefits of Solar Electric PV Systems Cut your electric bills: The energy from the sun is free, so once you've paid for the initial cost of your solar pv system, you generate free electricity – with no cost to you. Generate money with your PV system: In many areas, there are SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits) that you generate for the power your PV system produces – even if you use the power. Sell energy to the grid: With grid-connected PV systems, you can often sell the energy you don't use back to the power company (aka, the grid).
