How do you install and maintain a solar water heating system?
The installation of a solar water heater depends on so many factors like availability of solar
resources, climate, local building code requirements and safety problems. It’s highly suggested to
consider hiring qualified solar water heating system collectors for the installation purposes.
After the installation is done, you need to maintain the system properly to keep it up and running.
Generally, passive solar water heaters don’t need much maintenance. If you’ve an active solar
water heating system, you need to discuss the maintenance requirements with your installer and
go through the system owner’s manual.
You need to maintain the plumbing and other conventional water heating components as they
need the same maintenance like the conventional ones. Glazing may require cleanup in dry
climates as rainwater is unavailable to provide a natural rinse.
The maintenance of a regular or simple system can be infrequent as once in every three to five
year. This needs to be done by a solar contractor. If the systems have electrical components, they
may be replaced after 10 years. Take a look at this post and understand more about the
