solar water heating
Sunlight heats water
Solar water heating is a system that uses sunlight to warm water for domestic or commercial use.
Panels or collectors, typically mounted on rooftops, absorb solar energy and transfer the heat to water stored in tanks.
These systems range from simple passive designs that rely on natural convection to active systems with pumps and controls.
Solar water heating reduces reliance on gas or electric heaters, making it popular in sunny climates and for environmentally conscious households.
