Solar Heat

Chiara De Meijer

1. First of all the cold water goes through a tube and than pumps up to the Solar Collector

2. Secondly the sun heats the solar collector, this means it heats up the cold water in the tube.

3. Thirdly the hot water goes to the tank. If there is a time in the year that the sun does not heat the solar collector, there is a backup which is the boiler.

4. The water in the tank goes to our taps.

How does the solar water heat work?

1. You put the solar panels on top of you roof.2. Secondly the heat will be converted into

electric power. 3. The electric power will go into your house.4. Afterwards the electric power will go to a

Existing Electrical panel. This existing electrical panel distributes the

electric power to the whole house. A normal solar panel

This a recycled solar panel

How does a solar electric panel work?

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PUT IT UP?

The solar Heat is only reliable if you place the solar heat in a sunny area. If you place it in a cold area just like the coast, the solar heater would not work and it would not be very reliable.

Reliable or not? World usage

The most world usage is in Australia and Africa. This is where its is very hot and there is a lot of sun. In the other places in the world they may use other types of energy sources

Effects on the Environment

The solar Heat has a very good effect on the environment.

It saves a lot of energy and there is almost no deforestation involved.

It not only helps the environment but it also saves you a lot of money.

Although there are negative effects on the environment, there is almost no. It does not pollute the world or cut down trees.
