Comparison of solar water heater system
Products
Asset the solar water heaters are made up of collectors and storage tanks. These systems use the Sun to heat water in collectors generally mounted on a roof. The heated water is then stored in a tank similar to a conventional gas or electric water tank.
The specialities of 'Asset’ are:
- STURDY AND WEATHER PROOF DESIGN.
- AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT CAPACITIES.
- DIFFERENT CAPACITIES SUITABLE FOR HOME, HOTELS, HOSPITALS ETC.
- OPTIONAL ELECTRIC BACK UP HEATER.
- WATER HEATED UPTO 80˚C.
- PROVIDED WITH UNIQUE DIGITAL TEMPERATURE MONITOR (enables to read the
temperature of water inside the tank).
Asset solar water heaters can operate in any climate. Performance varies depending, in part, on ho
w much solar energy is available at the site, but also on how cold the water coming into the system is. The colder the water, the more efficiently the system operates.
There are basically three types of collectors: flat plate, evacuated-tube, and concentrating.
1) A flat plate collector, the most common type, is an insulated, weather-proofed box containing a dark absorber plate under one or more transparent or translucent covers.
2) Evacuated-tube collectors are made up of rows of parallel, transparent glass tubes. Each
tube consists of a glass outer tube and an inner tube, or absorber, covered with a selective coating that absorbs solar energy well but inhibits radiative heat loss. The air is withdrawn("evacuated") from the space between the tubes to form a vacuum, which eliminates conductive and convective heat loss.
3) Concentrating collectors for residential applications are usually parabolic troughs that use mirrored 
surfaces to concentrate the sun's energy on an absorber tube (called a receiver) containing a heat-transfer fluid.
A well-insulated storage tank is an integral part of Asset solar heater. Converted electric water heater tanks can also be used or the solar storage tank can be plumbed in series with the conventional water heater. In this arrangement, the solar water heater preheats water before it enters the conventional water heater.
Advantages
Often, it is practically difficult to install individual conventional electric water heaters in every bathro
om and kitchen of a house on account of the high electricity consumption, limitations in operational flexibility and maintenance hassles. All these problems are dispensed with ‘Asset’ which can be conveniently installed on the rooftop with sufficient exposure to the sunrays and does not trouble you to take a cold bath in the era of erratic power supply, as it is solely dependent on the ‘Sun’ only. Also, ‘Asset’ keeps the plumbers away from your home as it does not contain any moving part and hence is practically maintenance free.
‘Asset’ solar water heaters are cost competitive in many applications when you account for the total energy costs over the life of the system. Although the initial cost of solar water heaters is higher than that of conventional water heaters, the fuel (sunshine) is free. Plus, they are environmentally friendly. To take advantage of these heaters, you must have an un-shaded, south-facing location (a roof, for example) on your
property.
Solar water heater economics compare quite favorably with those of electric water heaters. Heating water with the sun also means long-term benefits, such as being cushioned from future fuel shortages and price increases, and environmental benefits.
Many homebuilders choose electric water heaters because they are easy to install and relatively inexpensive to purchase. However, research shows that an average household with an electric water heater spends about 25% of its home energy costs on heating water.
It makes economic sense to think beyond the initial purchase price and consider lifetime energy costs, or how much you will spend on energy to use the appliance over its lifetime. It found that solar water heaters
offered the largest potential savings compared to electric heating, with solar water-heater owners saving as much as 50% to 85% annually on their utility bills over the cost of electric water heating.
In India some States offer subsidies on domestic as well as commercial solar water heating systems installations. Government of India offers 100% depreciation claim in the first year itself on installation of commercial solar water heating systems.
Paybacks vary widely, but you can expect a simple payback of 3 to 8 years on a well-designed and properly installed solar water heater. (Simple payback is the length of time required to recover your investment through reduced or avoided energy costs.) You can expect shorter paybacks in areas with higher energy costs. After the payback period, you accrue the savings over the life of the system, which ranges from 15 to 40 years, depending on the system and how well it is maintained.
Solar water heaters offer long-term benefits that go beyond simple economics. In addition to having free hot 
water after the system has paid for itself in reduced utility bills, you and your family will be cushioned from future fuel shortages and price increases. You will also be doing your part to reduce this country's dependence on foreign oil. Adding a solar water heater to an existing home raises the resale value of the home by the entire cost of the system. You may be able to recoup your entire investment when you sell your home.
Solar water heaters do not pollute. By investing in one, you will be avoiding carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and the other air pollution and wastes created when your utility generates power or you burn fuel to heat your household water. When a solar water heater replaces an electric water heater, the electricity displaced over 20 years represents more than 50 tons of avoided carbon dioxide emissions alone. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the upper atmosphere, thus contributing to the "greenhouse effect."
A solar water heater is a long-term investment that will save you money and energy for many years. Like other renewable energy systems, solar water heaters minimize the environmental effects of enjoying a comfortable, modern lifestyle. In addition, they provide insurance against energy price increases, help reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and are investments in everyone's future.
