This installation provides hot water for
the home. In a typical installation, only
three collectors would be required for 5
people. But, since the collectors are
mounted on a shallow pitched roof, one
additional collector was added to make
sure enough hot water was available to
the family.
This Jewell County solar hot water
installation combines a hot water system
with the ability to heat. The collectors are
mounted on a flat roof on a racking
system that increases the winter energy
collection.

A solar hot water system is typically designed around the winter months. This is done because
these months have less energy available to collect. The sun is lower in the sky, the days are
shorter, and it is the coldest time of the year. Because the collectors are tilted, they will more
directly face the winter sun which is low in the sky and thus be able to produce more hot water.
