The Passive Solar Water Heater is one of the simplest ways to heat hot water. Unlike active solar hot water systems such as closed or drainback systems, a passive system offers the simplicity of no moving parts or electrical connections. The only precaution taken is that in northern climates, the unit should be drained for winter months to prevent freezing damage.
The Solar Components Batch Water Heater Kit consists of a 30 gallon glass lined steel tank covered by our 1-1/2" thick Sun-Lite solar collector cover panel. The kit is designed to pre-heat water going to your conventional water heater or in southern climates could supply all your hot water. This kit provides an excellent dollar per BTU ratio!
