Solar Water Heater - Very Useful to Cut Energy Costs

 Solar energy is vital when it comes to alternatives to other energy sources. Solar energy is an energy source available in plenty and can be used for various purposes.

It is possible to use solar energy with the help of materials at home. For example, water heaters utilizing this form of energy can be made at home. The materials required for solar energy water heaters are easily available in the market. Let's have a look at the materials required for the purpose: thinly cut pieces of wood ( usually 1.5/0.9/ 0.08m is preferred), fiber wool, aluminum foil, black paint, copper piping, Perspex sheet, the standard boiler of gas ( if required) and coil.

The first task is frame preparation, and for this, the wood pieces have to be utilized. These are kept at the mount top around the edges. The final product is an open and shallow box. There is a need to properly seal the corners so that it becomes air-tight. The wool made of fiber has to be added to the frame as the next step. There is a need to evenly spread it, followed by placing the foil above it. The purpose of doing this is to provide effective insulation.

For covering the sheeting aluminum, black paint can be used, and it should be laid over the foil. This arrangement would be the absorption substance for holding on to the sun's rays. As the next step, twist the pipes made of copper so that a grid is formed, and care should be taken to ensure that the pipe reaches maximum length. Next, this copper piping should be attached to the pad for absorption.

Holes can be created so the pipe can exit and enter the heater. As the last step, the solar energy heater should be covered with the Perspex sheet, followed by sealing. This process will not consume much time. This solar energy equipment would save a lot of money for the people using it. Also, the materials used in the preparation do not cause any harmful effects on the environment.
