10 Things you should know before you buy flat panel, roof mounted solar hot water systems
- These can be among the most inefficient of all solar hot water systems.
- The tank is mounted on the roof above the collectors.
- Rheem hot water owns Solahart and Edwards Solar. Therefore spare parts are easy to access.
- There is very little that can and will go wrong with these systems. They have no pumps, no pump control stations and no sensor wires. Therefore, they are the most reliable of all solar hot water systems.
- Unlike the DUX flat panel solar hot water systems, these flat panel systems will not freeze. This is because the collectors are filled with an anti-freeze, anti-boil agent called glycol.
- Installing a time clock on the electric booster will significantly increase efficiency in winter.
- These systems are available in stainless steel and vitreous enamel tanks.
- The vitreous enamel tanks have sacrificial anodes that can be replaced at 5-7 yearly intervals. Replacing the anodes will increase the life of the system. You can still expect 15-20 years from a system without replacing the anode.
- Rheem and Edwards Solar roof mounted solar hot water systems require a service once every 5 years in Canberra and Queanbeyan.
- A service involves replacing the TPRV and tempering valve, checking Glycol levels, the pressure limiting valve, the cold water strainer, the thermostat and element.
