Solar collector panels containing a heat transfer fluid are installed on the roof at a favorable angle to the sun. Pipes lead from the panels to the hot water tank, where the heat is transferred to provide tremendous amounts of hot water. Even in winter, hot water temperatures can reach 180º. Solar hot water systems are usually designed to provide 80% of the processes overall hot water needs over the course of a year.
As a mature technology, solar hot water is among the most cost-effective means of supplying energy to a building. It is less expensive than grid-based sources of electricity including coal, nuclear, and natural gas. Solar hot water use has doubled in the United States over the last ten years, and it is an ideal application for recreation centers, jails, restaurants, hotels, dormitories, laundromats, and other buildings that are dependent on large quantities of hot water.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) collector modules are made of two semiconducting layers, one of which is positively charged, while the other is negatively charged. When sunlight strikes the solar cell, the negatively charged electrons are activated. The free electrons flow towards the positive semi-conducting layer, creating an electric current. This direct current is then converted to an alternating current by an inverter so it can be used for all the same applications as grid power. If electricity is generated beyond immediate needs, excess energy may be sold to the local utility or stored in batteries.
To maximize energy production solar panels should face south and be tilted towards the sun. However, solar modules generate significant amounts of energy even when flat on a roof or angled anywhere from southeast to southwest.
