A solar heating system involves placing solar roof panels or tiles on your home's roof. From these solar panels or tiles, there are then solar heating devices that transfer heat to the water of your home.
Energy from the sun is what heats the water. Solar heating contrasts electric solar or photovoltaic systems that use the sun's energy to create electricity for water heating. One type of solar heating system is the active solar heating, which use solar collectors to harness the energy of the sun and disperse it across the whole house.

In the world today, sun is the most cost effective and efficient way to harness huge energy. Solar heating systems collect energy and use the energy into residences' own water needs. Generally, solar water heating system has the capacity to heat water up to 140 degree F or higher than that matching the range of its traditional hot water tank counterpart. Effective system can collect up to around 70% of sun's energy and ultimately that transfer it to you. Direct system can absorb the sun's heat and directly heat household water supply. The system consists of collector pipes filled up with water which are directly connected with the storage tanks placed inside the home. As soon as the sun heats the water inside the pipes, the water comes out from the storage tank. As direct systems are always more efficient and effective than that of the indirect ones, they require proper maintenance to keep the pipes clear from mineral deposits.

Solar water heating system, where the water is heated by the use of solar energy, is much in vogue these days. Solar heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collectors, a water storage tank or another point of usage, interconnecting pipes and a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to the tank. A solar water heating system serves a wide range of purposes and can get long-term economical benefits as it reduces the country's dependence on foreign oil and moreover it is environment friendly.
