The temperature of water heated by a solar water heater typically ranges from 60-80 degrees Celsius (140-176 degrees Fahrenheit).
Solar water heaters utilize solar energy (sunlight) to heat water. The water is heated as it circulates through collectors exposed to the sun. The heated water can then be stored in a tank for later use. The achievable temperature depends on factors like the solar irradiance, ambient temperature, and the efficiency of the solar water heater system.
Different sizes of solar water heaters are available to meet various needs:
- Domestic Use: Solar water heaters with capacities of 100-300 liters are commonly used in homes.
- Commercial Applications: Larger systems are suitable for establishments like restaurants, canteens, guest houses, hotels, and hospitals. These larger systems are designed to meet the higher hot water demands of such businesses.
In summary, expect a solar water heater to provide water heated to a temperature between 60 and 80 degrees Celsius for both residential and commercial applications.
