Solar Water heater connection ?

We Answered:

Hot water on top because heat rises. Cold water sinks, that is why the top of a lake is warm and at the bottom freezing. The water can circulate without a pump through natural convection, that is how the old car radiators worked, they had no water pump.

Georgia Said:

Solar Water System - What kind of installation site do you need for a Solar Water Heater?

We Answered:

The installation place should have good sunlight throughout the day. Tropical sunny states like Texas, California, Arizona, Florida & Georgia are ideal for a solar setup.

Panels go on the roof with the collectors facing toward the sun. The orientation is due south to intercept the maximum amount of sunlight.

If you're in the southern hemisphere (Australia & New Zealand) then the panels face north.
