Long Island Residential Solar Energy System Configuration

The system configuration depicts the 40 gallon water storage tank with the collector(s) that circulate the water to to the existing water heater by city water pressure replacing water usage to the system. This system requires no moving parts and no external utility cost to maintain the system, outside of the computerized thermostat to monitor the automated system.

This system can also be installed with the water storage tank or tanks located near the existing water heater. The existing circulating hot water pumps are incorporated into the system to circulate the solar heated water maintained in the water storage tank. In this design there is no additional mechanical devices needed. The thermal solar collectors and tanks become part of the hot water circulation heating system.

This system can also be incorporated to heat the in-ground pool and extend the swimming season when heating the home is not necessary. In fact these systems generate such a degree of hot water they can be incorporated and maintain an out door hot tub year round.
