Solar Water Heaters
|
PROBLEM |
POSSIBLE CAUSE |
SOLUTION |
| The water does warm up although there is sunshine | Not enough heat exchange liquid in the closed circuit | Check the quantity of the heat exchange liquid. The checking and the filling of the heat exchange liquid must be done either early in the morning or late at night |
| Incorrect orientation of the solar panels | The solar panels should always be facing South | |
| Physical obstacle or object that creates shadows on the solar panel | Remove the object that creates the shadow | |
| Water leakage from the safety valve | Increased pressure in the water supply circuit |
It is not a problem of the appliance, it indicates that the appliance is protected against increased pressure |
| Not enough hot water | Insufficient maintenance. It is possible that the on-going accumulation of salt deposits inside the tank has decreased the capacity of the water tank | Occasional maintenance of the appliance is mandatory |
