Solar Water Heaters
Solar Water Heaters use solar energy to heat water for residential and commercial use. These systems consist of solar collectors that absorb sunlight, which is then transferred to a water storage tank. They are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, reducing reliance on conventional heating methods that consume electricity or gas. Solar water heaters are perfect for locations with abundant sunlight and can save a significant amount of energy over time. They can be used for a variety of applications, including domestic water heating, industrial processes, and space heating.
