hotspots

A solar panel system is a low-intensity energy source that is commonly supplemented with other traditional energy souces,although it can be designed to handle 100 percent of a energy load requirement.A passive solar energy system does not employ circulators or fans but relies on natural)flow. One of the main considerations when solar energy systems are installed is the structural loading effect from collectors and supports.

Solar hot water is a established criteria for flammable and combustible heat transfer liquids in a solar collection system.That is the minimum temperture at which the liquid gives off suffucient vaporto form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid.The heat transfer fluid is required to have a flashpoint temperature of at least 50%F above the max design temperature that it could reach while flowing through the system. This is designed on the location of where you live and location of the air to air collector that is installed in regards to sun light.

Probably the easiest way is to get an old tv dish antenna and make the surface reflective. You might try gluing aluminum foil on the inside. Add up your surface area and then put that much water at the focal point. This dish will have to remain pointed at the sun to work best.

Another way is to make a parabolic trough solar collector tube reflector. The water will be in a long pipe suspended at the focal point of a trough that is reflective. For this one it is enough to have the trough pointed east-west and tilted at the correct angle for the sun at this time of year. You might use aluminum flashing for the trough.
