Here is a link to a great solar hot water heating site http://www.solarroofs.com/Makingitbetter7 06:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hi. i read your article about solar panels and everything.. but i was wondering if you would add about the financial cost to produce the energy, the enviormental impactss, if it is renewable or nonrenewable, and last of all the availability of this source of energy. hopefully i did not ask too much?

Image request

An schematical image is to be added to the article to make things more clear. At *Solar hot water system schematical picture and especially at another schematical picture of a solar hot water system (page 22), there are 2 good pictures. Is it possible to upload them at the top (where the "no picture available" is located ?

I dont know whether the picture may be taken from the brochure and simply modified with a program (GIMP, ...). Perhaps that this is possible and legal (OND Vlaanderen is a governmental information company) and that the picture may be thus modified and uploaded at a legal way.

Name change

I believe that "Solar water heating" would be a more appropriate name for this article. --213.149.123.28 (talk) 23:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


DIY Solar Hot Water Systems

With ever rising diy-community and their increasing environmental awareness, people have begun building their own (small-scale) solar hot water systems from scratch. Trough the internet, the community is able to attain plans to solar hot water systems. [1][2] and people have sprung up building them for their own domestic requirements. The DIY-solar hot water systems are being used both in the developed world, as in the developing world to power homes.

I'm already putting this section in, hope it qualifies (it would be very helpful for the green community so try to improve it before deleting it, if you were tempted to this. KVDP (talk) 12:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another useful schematic is present in this document (page 22)

See to the links mentioned, include info in article. KVDP (talk) 10:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also added extra info in article:

According to ANRE (a Flemish energy agency, subsidised by the Flemish or Belgian government [3], an complete, commercial (active) solar hot water system composed of a solar collector (3-4m²; this is large enough for 4 people), pipes and tank (again large enough for 4 people) costs around 4000 euro. The installation by a recognised worker costs another 800 euro. [4]

If not up to standards, please improve it and make sure the info remains available.

Thanks. KVDP (talk) 12:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Batch water heater picture

A picture of a batch water heater would be useful here. I saw a very nice one at the book "Earthship volume 2", but this one is useful too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.142.204 (talk) 13:50, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Schematic

Someone removed the schematic and upped other picture. As the first was useful with this other one (included operation within a house with extra components, I reuploaded :

Schematic of an active solar heating system

Do not remove; lots of cooperative work has been gone in this (I spent lots of hours on it too). Thanks;

Tax Credits

Any information pertaining to the incentives for using solar hot water should be expressed fully.

although wiki is not a collection of links it is visited by many people each day to learn about this wonderful world of ours.

informing people is what wiki is about right?

Reference list

This list has dead links, how can I edit these?

See which one it is and search and modify in text, do not edit anything under references itself.

Pictures

The pictures at http://www.appropedia.org/Solar_hot_water_-_system_types (Examples of Common Solar Hot Water Systems) can speficiy the difference between open and closed loop active systems. Please include in article.

Also, can someone improve my batch heater (

) and upload to article again
