solar geysers

The Sun is ultimate source of energy. If we use the energy effeciently then Up to 80% of your water heating needs can be sourced directly from the Sun. But how do we achieve this?

The Solar Thermal heating system is a good answer to these queries. A solar thermal system consists of; a solar collector, a pump, a solar controller and a hot water storage tank. The solar collector, located on the roof, collects the sun’s energy and transfers the heat to the storage tank. The storage tank allows the hot water to be stored until it is used at night or in the morning. Whatever investment has been done can be recovered in 2-3 years. These systems are easier to install and can be used for both domestic and commercial use.


Many banks are providing loans to buy such solar thermal heating systems. Though in my view the government should support and work more towards providing these systems at a lower price.
