Effectiveness:

One of the main reasons solar panels outperform all other forms of energy is the efficiency they offer us when it comes to heating water. The US Department of Energy claims that solar panels can convert almost 80% of radiation into heat energy without using any external fuels.

Low-cost Installation:

Comparatively speaking, installing a solar panel will cost much less than installing a PV panel. Transferring the unused unit back to the power grid is a great way to earn rewards. They are a one-time investment that will pay off in the long run.

Types of Solar Water Heaters In Uganda

Solar water heaters for homes in Uganda

The two main subcategories of solar hot water heaters are passive and active. Active Systems need circulating pumps to move water, whereas passive systems rely on gravity to do so. This is the main distinction between the two. Active systems may use antifreeze as a heat exchanger fluid and need electricity to operate.

There are subcategories of active and passive systems that are tailored for different climatic conditions, tasks, capacities, and budgets. The one that’s best for you will depend on a variety of elements, such as:

  • Accessible area
  • Sunshine is accessible
  • The size of your capacity needs
  • Building standards and laws in your area
  • Your installation price range

5 Steps to Choosing the Perfect Solar Water Heater for Your Home

  1. Assess Your Hot Water Needs
    Calculate daily hot water usage based on the number of occupants and peak demand times.
  2. Understand the Types of Solar Water Heaters

    Active Systems: Use pumps for circulation; more efficient but complex.

    Passive Systems: Rely on natural convection; simpler and often less expensive.
  3. Evaluate Solar Resources at Your Location
    Research local solar irradiance and check for shading from trees or buildings.
  4. Compare System Sizes and Efficiency Ratings
    Choose the right size based on your hot water needs, and look for high-efficiency ratings (check SRCC ratings).

Advantages of Solar Water Heaters in Uganda

The price of a solar water heater is determined by several factors, including:

Type of system:

The cost of a solar water heater depends on the type of system, such as a passive or active system, and the type of collector, such as flat-plate or vacuum tube.

Size:

The size of the system, measured in terms of the collector area and storage tank capacity, will also affect the cost.

Quality of components:

The quality of the components, such as the solar collector, storage tank, and piping, will affect the cost. Higher quality components tend to be more expensive but also have a longer lifespan and better performance.

Installation costs:

The cost of installation, including labor and materials, will also impact the overall cost of a solar water heater.

Location:

The cost of a solar water heater may vary depending on your location and the availability of local installers and suppliers.

Brand reputation:
