Solar Water Heater For Radiant Floor Heating

Read all about it below.

Solar water heater for radiant floor heating. Solar hot water heating systems radiantec offers you so much more from your water heater. Our new solar water heating system provides luxurious solar heated domestic hot water and exciting options for ways to use excess solar energy. Solar water heaters are commonly used as heat sources for radiant floor systems in regions where an abundant solar resource is available. Conversely and cleverly in summer if the heat isn t needed in the house the heat is diverted to an air water heat exchanger for heating the hot water tank instead.

Air heated by those solar panels in winter when the sun s angle is lower will be fed into the floor heating radiant system which will reduce the energy demand on the heater coil. Radiant heat is a comfortable and efficient way to heat a home and doing so with solar power is all the better. The radiantec basic solar domestic water heater is a pre engineered packaged residential solar water heater. It can also serve as a point of departure for more versatile solar energy systems that will also provide underfloor radiant heat snow melting.

The solar system can directly offset a portion of the fuel required to heat the water for the radiant floor system by at least 30 when compared to conventional forced air systems. This includes the system itself and the cost for a dedicated water heater or boiler generally 360 to 1 000 for a 50 gallon water heater or approximately 6 000 for a boiler. The switch to solar water heating makes the most sense if you are planning to make the transition for your home s hot water anyway. In all you can expect to pay anywhere from 6 000 to 14 000 to install a hydronic radiant floor heating system.

Both the solar system and the radiant floor systems are environmentally friendly due to the saving they provide in the consumption of fossil fuels. Earlier solar heating systems would first heat a storage tank and then distribute the stored heat with radiant heating tubes. Normally a large solar heated storage tank with electric gas or oil backup supplies hot water to the radiant system and most often provides for domestic needs as well. The system is designed to be used as the primary heating source for any radiant floor system replacing the need for an expensive boiler.

Introducing the wolds 1st complete solar solar radiant floor heating system. For your radiant heating system alone solar thermal heating could offset some of your winter energy needs but you would still have to use the. When solar energy is used directly to provide radiant heat the radiant floor system cannot be used by the backup heating system as this use would compromise the solar storage. Solar thermal power provides a clean economical alternative to natural gas electric oil and propane water heaters and is a perfect way to reduce your heating costs and dependence on fossil fuels.
