"The collectors should face North"
My first thought was 'Hey, no, they need to face South!'.
Then this Brit realised that the video for is for you guys 'down under' :-)
Opposite side of the Equator and all that :-)
Superb video, thanks!
I was completely thrown when he said the collectors should face north. Then I realized this is Australia and I'm in the US! 😂
:-)
Time to update and include additional heating using wet back or flue collectors for heating water and integrating into the storage system 👍
It seems like you Aussies are always working to solve one of our biggest problems.
That is the the never ending rise in cost of utilities.
Great job. Thanks.
Don't be stupid; these were in place in the '80 all over Eastern European countries...
Solar systems for heating could be installeted on your south side wall. High input in winter lower in summer. 20m2 and y wood ofen. Thats all.
I live in the UK, I fitted the old type of evacuated tubes, pump system, Really pleased with it's performance I don't no why these are not been fitted in more UK homes the government should be giving grants or interest free loans, there so much that can be done to help the planet no one with any vision for the future.
Kevin I’m looking to fit a system, but I live in a conservation area, grrrrrrr My council saying at the moment even with the environmental pressures, there’s no prevision to change restrictions, outrageous or what…I could fit & suffer the consequences, I might set a president & a knock on effect. Who did you use & how much?
Government would lose money because less people would be using energy.. they want you to be dependent on them.
Very interesting!
Here in Canada, I know many people who are using their hot water tank as a secondary battery where they heat water with the excess solar power once the batteries are full. Solar PV does not freeze in the cold of course. All electric outdoors and just a switch on the charge controller to heat water once the batteries are full. Mine is coupled with wood heated water for winter so it balances my hot water needs all through the year! A little wind turbine could help in the sunless times though
If freezing was an issue you could have a non freezing fluid being heated and then run that into a heat exchange. I would love to see a comparison of differing methods mounted to a heliostat of the same size including directed light from a mirror. While not great for storage, I suspect it would transfer more heat than pv.
But how you manage lefionella?
You use a heat exchanger or heat pump to use the heat from the water battery?
I think it's a great concept exceot I haven't found a professional solution like this.
There are glycol systems. Much more expensive, though.
@@piynubbunyip PV Array will out perform on the longer run. You need direct sunlight for mirrors to be effective. Whereas PV will even generate when it is overcast.
@@SanaagSomaliland yes, they are more versatile in that way but will not last as long as evacuated tubes. If you were just heating water on a yearly basis the evacuated tubes would win three to one but you probably do not require that much hot water for hydronic heating in the summer. A combination is always more flexible
Where do we download the fact sheet?
Is there a way to connect a solar hot water system to heat a hot tub? Using a temp sensor that activates a pump possibly?
Cut section of tank is needed to see the packing
Can you fit a thermostat.
nice video my bro
Regarding overheating, doesn't stopping the pump make the small amount of water in the solar panel get REALLY REALLY HOT? Seems like it would boil and damage the panel.

I'm from Australia & solar has been an option here for decades, but the electric or gas heated tank inside is very common too. Personally I like solar, mainly for off-grid, scalable design, and hope to one day have a pure water collector / PV system that can be used off-grid on my land and sustain me and/or visitors.
oh
In the post-factual period, everything can be considered "secret" because education fails to provide the most general information that has been commonly used in the last century.
Wtf are you on about?
@@kimmettfarlston-chew If you don't know, don't write anything.
@@DL-kc8fc quit your gibberish
@@kimmettfarlston-chew You are a very intelligent person and I am very sorry that I cannot share your shadow. I will miss your presence very much. Have a nice day.
@@DL-kc8fc less tongue wagging more hot water system I say.
I'm surprised you have a General Electic metre in Australia!,same as Canada! Although I had a computer based unit,that could be read from the road with a wifi reader!not the dial type.
how can i get all this
Up on the northern hemisphere,its south facing,facing north up here in Canada, the northern USA or any northern hemisphere will not produce any heat!
This is something the power companies and oil don’t want you to know..
Do like to share this video please.
What is solar gas? Anybody know?
solar with gas boost?
I was going to ask why north:) then realized it is Australia
Face the NORTH!??? Oh, you're an Aussie.

Why the unnecessary and distracting music over the top of the voice. It's awful.
Are you robot?
