Solar panels can heat solar hot water to 80C within minutes of plumbing a Solartwin freeze tolerant solar panel into a bucket (on a windy spring day in England). Part of a Solartwin.com solar energy installer training seminar aiming to take the fear out of how to fit solar panels to deliver solar heat power and save energy in an affordable way.

    Thanks for the comments. I’ve just uploaded a new video entitled “solar heating cowboys” which develops the point abouth the solar electric pump. This can boost environmental performance of solar water heating systems by 20% in terms of carbon savings. There is also more on the solartwin site. Regards, Solaryes Barry.

    It can help with a preheat tank though, instead of cold ground water topping up your geyser when you use it, thus not having to have your element keep coming on.

    It is not a drain back, it is permanently filled with water.

    I don’t get it “never be efficient enough” for what exactly?
    Water retains A LOT of heat, a sufficient large watertank would provide more than enough warm water for house heating and warm water.

    The fresh hook-up allows quicker result is achieved using pre-heated pipes. Is it a drain-back system that comes on when temps are high enough to produce? (I found his accent hard to follow. . . maybe he addressed it? Will see the web site later, perhaps)

    Thanks for this analysis. Most solar users want to heat their water over a day, rather than a few minutes – and what is offered generally meets this requirement. Faster heating would mean larger panels and therefore greater cost.
