SOLAR WATER SYSTEMS
The most energy intensive appliance in the home is the hot water cylinder or geyser. It is also the most expensive to run whilst the familiar „instant shower‟ common in all our homes is not economical either compared to the solar technology. The good news is that Signet Energy Limited is offering to replace up to100% of the electricity used to heat water with the solar water heaters. The solar water heating should be considered as one of the first steps in energy and cost savings, that provides a better return on investment than other renewable energy saving or generating technology in the Eastern African environment.
THE SOLAR WATER COLLECTOR
All solar water heaters do the same thing. They collect heat from sunlight and irradiation through the solar collector and transfer that heat to water which is then stored in a vessel (tank). The solar collector is generally a flat plate collector or an evacuated tube collector.
LOW PRESSURE SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEM
Signet Energy Provides a high performance
solar water heater that is also equipped with a
feeding tank that has an automatic water inlet
which is convenient to use. Free welding
technology is used in the production which
ensures quality. The superior vacuum tube
technology ensures efficient and durable
service. The system can help minimize energy
usage by providing an economical water heating
solution by harnessing solar energy which is
Limitless which in turn ensures the water is hot
HIGH PRESSURE SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEM WATER HEAT PIPE
These systems are advantageous because of their
technical superiority compare to other systems due to
the maximum efficiency in absorbing solar energy
which is free through the vacuum tubes and also by
ensuring high heat retention of the hot water while in
the tanks. The vacuum collectors offer the highest
operating efficiency throughout due to their low
weight and small dimensions. The sleek design
makes it flexible to install on all types of roofs.
Environmental protection is ensured
SPLIT SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEM
The solar collector and the water tank are separated in this system which is unique and stylish and makes the whole system more aesthetically pleasing. It is a pressurized closed loop system which uses glycol that circulates through the coil in the tank which makes the water hot. Since hot water loses less energy than normal systems, the advance design ensures that the hot water can be stored in a different part of the tank. The mechanical working allows the systems to instantly heat the water due to a short connection pipe. It is mainly ideal for apartments, villas and bungalows. Its efficiency ensures large savings on the utility bills.
