Solar Water Heater, Hot Water day and night, 365 days
Hot water is a basic necessity, which unfortunately can be expensive if availed through traditional water heating methods. Turn to the power of the sun for your residential or commercial water requirements and benefit from instant hot water all year long, at practically no cost.
Whether you run a home, office, hotel, hospital or an industrial establishment, quick and easy access to hot water is not just necessary, but rather, critical to your operations. Relying on boiler technology is not a cost-effective solution in the long-term, running up heavy electricity bills, month on month, year after year.
Every business and home can gain from the abundant power of the sun through a solar water heating system, which provides clean and renewable energy at affordable prices – thus balancing commercial and environmental impact.
Flat Plate
Collectors
The solar water heating system has a solar collector that is made of an aluminium body and a toughened glass sheet on the top. The heart of the collector is a copper absorber plate which is selectively coated for better performance. This plate absorbs the maximum possible heat from the sun and passes it to the water. The collector box is well-insulated to prevent any heat loss.
Evacuated
Tube Collector
An evacuated tube acts as an absorber in this type of commercial or residential solar water heater. Each evacuated tube consists of two glass tubes with a vacuum in between, which acts as an excellent insulator. The incident solar radiation falling on the tube passes through the outer transparent tube and strikes the inner tube (having a dark absorbing coating). It absorbs the heat energy and then passes it to the cold water flowing in the tube.
How does the water stay warm?
Thermosyphon
In this the water in the storage tank circulates continuously through the collectors, based totally on the natural flow of water due to the difference in specific gravity of hot and cold water. It does not have to rely on electricity and is a simple and maintenance free solar water heating system. However in this system, the temperature cannot be controlled and as hot water is drained from the tank, it is replaced by fresh cold water, leading to some amount of mixing.
Forced Flow
The flow in this system is controlled through a control panel and pump. The cold water is circulated through the collectors and allowed to stay there until the set temperature is reached. Only then does the pump come on and push the heated water into the storage tank. The entire system is automated and hence it has to rely on electricity supply. In this system the temperature can be controlled, and water in the storage tank at any given time is at the set temperature only.
Hot water during non-sunny days too!
The insulated storage tank can be fitted with an optional heating element
which will allow the water heating system to function all-year-round.

Testimonials
-
“We are very happy withAgni’s commercial solar water heater and heating system installed at our Chakan plant since August 2012. It continues to perform well and save us energy costs.”
-
We have purchased a 15,000 LPD system from Agni Solar, in the year 1999 and are extremely satisfied with the product. The product is reliable with a very prompt service backup, and we would highly recommend the product to others in the future.
-
“Agni Solar has been installing solar water heating systems for our residential projects at Thane since 2004. We keep going back to them for installations at our new buildings and I think that speaks for itself.”
-
“We’d like to thank Agni for their professionalism, savings on our power bills and helping us to reduce our carbon footprint. We would also like to recognize their competent staff Ajit. If we had a question or concern about installation, product knowledge or warranty issues they were very responsive and accommodating. We would highly recommend them for installation of solar power in households.”
-
We have installed a solar PV system with battery back-up at our bungalow over 5 years ago. It takes care of most of our lighting and fan load. We are proud to be a solar power producer and self-sufficient in our electricity requirements.
-
“As an international centre in India, we were quick to adapt to using solar energy for water heating purposes. Many of our panels are almost 10 years old now. To keep them working and up to date, we put an AMC with Agni Solar in place. Since then, we have had very minimal issues compared to before. Whenever we do have issues with hot water not working, Agni is quick to visit, check and make the necessary fixes. Agni Solar has also helped in providing us with information about other forms of solar energy that we might be able to use at our centre.”
