With the soaring cost of electricity and gas, finding other ways to provide energy to your home or business is easy with Solar.

MPM Plumbing is a strong believer in the benefits of installing Solar hot water and can supply and install the perfect system to suit your household or business. If you are under the misconception that you need to have solar panels installed on your roof to enjoy solar hot water, that's simply not the case. Let's take a closer look at Solar hot water and see how this water heating system could be the perfect choice for you.

How does solar hot water work?

There are two main elements to solar hot water systems, one is the storage tank, and the other a solar collector. There are also two very distinct categories of a solar water heating system, each has its own advantages, one is active and one is passive. So with that in mind, you may be thinking which one would suit my needs best? It's important to take factors into consideration, like the local climate and available sunlight hours, your budget, and the long-term benefits and environmental impact of your choice. Installing a solar hot water system is an investment, so it's a good idea to consult with a solar energy professional to ensure you are making the best possible choice.

ACTIVE: systems are equipped with circulating pumps and controls and come in two types of systems

1. Direct circulation system - pumps circulate household water through the collectors and into the home
2. Indirect circulation systems- pumps circulate a nonfreezing heat transfer fluid through the collectors and heat exchanger, heating the water before it flows into the home.

PASSIVE: systems operate without these components, there are two types of passive systems

1. Integral collector-storage passive system -: consists of a storage tank covered with a transparent material to allow the sun to effectively heat the water
2. Thermosyphon system -  the water is heated in a collector on the roof which then flows through the plumbing system when a hot water tap is turned on, the capacity of these systems is generally 40-gallon
