Solar Water Heater Repair & Service

The humble beginnings of Solar Power

Though solar power was invented and patented in the late 1800s, it didn’t really take off until now. In the later part of the 21st century the technology has become more widely available, allowing for more of us to benefit from the natural energy of the sun, in our own homes.

With these developments in solar power, it has become more feasible than ever before to use solar power in more complex ways.

Potential issues to watch for

While these water heaters are an incredible feat of science, they are not perfect and require plenty of care to ensure it’s intended lifespan is reached. Since solar power comes directly from the sun, the solar panels must be as high as possible. This typically means that the roof must be covered with the panels, which must also be kept in the best possible condition.

Aside from the dangers of trying to climb up onto a roof covered with solar panels to, say, brush off snow or ice, there are other issues that must be watched for, such as:

• Inconsistent water temperature
• Lowered panel efficiency
• Loose panels
• Ineffective Conductor Rod
• Low water temperature
• Leakage
• Excessive noise from the unit

If signs of trouble are ignored, they can quickly become unmanaged, and repairs to solar power can be lengthy and costly if not quickly managed.
