Active solar heating panels.

Duda is known in the solar water heating industry as being a reliable and high quality brand they are srcc certified and can be used for federal or state tax credits and. For active solar heating systems the thermal mass is usually an insulated water tank. Duda solar 200l active split system gallons. The second one goes from the tank to the air handling unit providing heating to the home.

If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating an auxiliary or back up system provides the additional heat. May not be great for those who travel frequently. The inside space is a black absorbing material to maximize the absorption of the solar energy. Active indirect the high points.

The first one goes from the solar collector to the tank heating the water in the tank. Flat plate collectors are usually placed on the roof or ground in the sunlight. In an active solar heating system a collector made up of flat plate pv panels collects solar energy from the sun. Active solar heating systems unlike passive solar heating systems use mechanical devices like pumps collectors and storage tanks to circulate the heat throughout a home.
