What is the Difference Between Solar Panels and Solar Water Heaters?
\nAs green energy becomes more popular, the demand for domestic solutions that exploit renewables keeps growing. For that reason, many alternatives are now available to homeowners who want to reduce their carbon footprint and save up on their energy bills.
\n\n\n\nIf your choice of energy source happens to be the sun, you might already know that two systems are available today: solar panels and solar water heaters.
\n\n\n\nIn this article, we will explain the difference between these two technologies so you can see which is most fitting for your needs.
\n\n\n\nIf you’re ready to install solar panels to your rooftop and simply want to get a better idea of local prices for different solar panels, we can help you.
\n\n\n\nAt GreenMatch, we have a broad network of qualified installers solar panel installers across the UK. We can provide you with up to 3 free non-binding quotes from reliable installers based near you. Simple click the button below to start comparing prices and choose the best offer.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn the Difference Between These Two Typically Misused Terms
\n\n\n\nWhile both solar panels and solar water heaters work by absorbing sunlight – and thus need to be placed on your roof, facing south – the similarities between them end there. In fact, they are two very different products.
\n\n\n\nTwo Outcomes: Power and Heat
\n\n\n\nThe first fundamental difference between solar panels and solar water heaters is what they produce. Solar panels exploit the photovoltaic effect by absorbing particles of light (photons), extracting the electrons and leading them through a wire: the flow of electrons itself is electricity.
\n\n\n\nThis is done by using solar cells made of semiconductor materials such as silicon, which have a negative layer and a positive one, creating a magnetic field.
\n\n\n\nTherefore, solar panels are used to produce some or all of the electricity the house needs. Smaller solar systems will lead to big savings on energy bills, while larger ones can generate enough power to allow you to become independent from the grid.
\n\n\n\nSolar water heaters, on the other hand, do not produce any electricity. They use sunlight differently, turning it into heat rather than energy. Solar collectors are made of a series of pipes containing a solution that turns solar energy into heat, which is then transferred and stored in a water tank. It can be then used for space heating or to supply hot water. Low-temperature collectors can be used to heat swimming pools instead.
\n\n\n\nUsually, a solar thermal system will provide 90% of your hot water in the summer, when space heating is not needed, and 40-60% in the winter. Additionally, it extends the life of your boiler by 60%. Alternatively, you can use solar thermal for heating and thermodynamic panels for hot water to go completely green. Since this technology does not generate energy, you will still need to use a little electricity to power the pump.
\n\n\n\nIf your plan is to go 100% green, that electricity could be provided by your solar panels, otherwise you can simply connect to the grid.
\n\n\n\nOne Benefit: Green Energy
\n\n\n\nEven though the two systems work differently and have distinct purposes, they reach the same goal: using renewable, low cost energy instead of traditional, “dirtier” power sources. Both systems will allow you to save money and help the environment. Once installed, they need little maintenance and provide free energy and hot water.

什么是太阳能电池板和太阳能热水器的区别?www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台
随着绿色能源变得更受欢迎,对国内解决方案,利用可再生能源的需求不断增长。出于这个原因,许多可用的替代现在的房主想减少他们的碳足迹,拯救他们的能源账单。
如果你选择的能量来源是太阳,你可能已经知道,今天有两个系统:www188bet.com和118bet金博宝app 。
在本文中,我们将解释这两种技术之间的区别你可以看到这是最适合你的需要。
如果你准备安装太阳能板屋顶,只是想要一个更好的了解当地188bet亚洲体育平台www188bet.com的价格对于不同的太阳能电池板,我们可以帮助你。
GreenMatch,我们有一个广泛的网络合格的安装太阳能电池板安装在英国。我们可以免费为你提供3你附近的非约束性报价从基于可靠的安装程序。简单的点击下面的按钮开始比较价格和选择最好的报价。
学习之间的区别这两个典型的滥用
太阳能电池板和太阳能热188bet亚洲体育平台www188bet.com水器工作时由于吸收阳光,因此需要被放置在你的屋顶,朝南的,它们之间的相似之处结束。事实上,他们是两个完全不同的产品。
两种结果:力量和热量
第一个太阳能电池板和太阳能热水器根本区别是他们生产的东西。www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台188bet亚洲体育平台www188bet.com太阳能电池板利用光伏影响通过吸收光的粒子(光子),提取电子和导致他们通过导线:电子的流动本身是电力。
这是通过使用太阳能电池的半导体材料如硅、负一层和积极的一个,形成一个磁场。
因此,太阳能电池板用于188bet亚洲体育平台www188bet.com电力生产的部分或全部的需求。小型太阳能系统将导致大的节省能源费用,虽然可以产生足够大的力量让你成为独立于电网。
太阳能热水器,另一方面,不产生任何电力。他们使用不同的阳光,将其转化为热量而不是能量。太阳能收集器是由一系列的管道包含一个解决方案,这使吗太阳能成热量,然后转移到存储在一个水箱中。它可以用于空间加热或供应热水。低温收藏家可以用来加热游泳池。
通常,一个太阳能热系统将提供你90%的热水在夏季,当不需要空间加热,在冬天40 - 60%。另外,它扩展了锅炉的寿命60%。或者,您可以使用太阳能加热和热热力学面板完全环保热水。因为这项技术不产生能量,你仍然需要使用电力。
绿色,如果你的计划是去100%,电能可以由你提供太阳能电池板,否则你可以简单地连接到电网。www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台
一个好处:绿色能源
即使两个系统的工作方式,不同的目的,他们达到同样的目标:使用可再生、低成本的能源代替传统的能源“脏”。两个系统可以让你省钱,帮助环境。一旦安装完毕,他们需要维护和提供免费能源和热水。
