5 Agenda Industry overview Essential physics Terms and concepts Collector and System types Site evaluation and design Economics
6 Industry Overview Two Types: 1. Solar pool heating Recreational use Typically unglazed panels (no glass) Temperature around 80 degrees Works seasonally 2. Solar water heating (SWH) Essential use Glazed panels Temperature around 120 degrees Works year-round Heats domestic hot water (DHW)
7 Solar Pool Heating Swimming pool water heating degrees from May to October Source: Fafco Courtesy of DOE/NREL Mature industry with main markets in California and Florida.

12 Industry Overview: U.S. Favorable regulatory environment Federal Tax Credit: Extended through % for both commercial and residential MACRS depreciation for commercial Other state and local rebate programs exist or are in the planning stages.
13 Industry Overview: California Upcoming state rebate program: AB1470 Applications accepted 5/1/10 (residential) and 6/1/10 (commercial). Systems installed after 7/15/09 eligible. Allocation is 40% residential, 60% commercial and multi-family. Handbook and online calculator to be developed soon. Public meetings held at the CPUC on Van Ness.
14 Essential Physics Courtesy ofnasa It all starts with the sun.
15 Greenhouse Effect Ozone layer light Short waves get through Earth heat Long waves are trapped
16 Greenhouse Effect Glass light Short waves get through Heat absorber heat Long waves are trapped SWH collector
17 Metal Conductivity Some metals transfer more heat than others. Fluid Fluid Copper Pipe cross-section Iron
18 Water Behavior Water expands both when heated and frozen. Steam Ice Moving water will NOT freeze.
19 Water Behavior Warm water will rise, cold water will sink.
20 Water Behavior Water contains dissolved minerals, which can cause unwanted buildup and clogging. Hard water contains more minerals, soft water less. Most common minerals are calcium and magnesium. The buildup of minerals is called calcification or scaling.
21 Essential Physics: Summary Greenhouse effect Light enters but heat trapped Color absorption Dark colors absorb and light colors reflect Metal conductivity Copper conducts more than others Water behavior Expands when heated and frozen Moving water will not freeze Warm water rises, cold water sinks Water contains dissolved minerals
22 Which leads to Glass-covered collectors, dark-colored, with copper or aluminum piping Systems designed to take advantage of the movement of heated water With protection against freezing, overheating, and mineral buildup.
23 Terms and Concepts Courtesy ofnasa
24 Terms and Concepts BTU: British Thermal Unit. Amount of heat needed to raise one lb. of water one degree F. Watt-hour: 3.4 BTU Therm: 100,000 BTU (29.3 kwh) Kilowatt-hour: 3,413 BTU Vacuum (evacuated) tube: Tube with no air. Thermosiphon: Natural process of hot water rising (in a tube). Stratification: Separation of hot and cold water (in a tank). Heat exchanger: Device that transfers heat from one medium to another. T (Delta T): Change in temperature.
25 Terms and Concepts System design: Storage is the key. Solar Electric: Solar Thermal: Tied to the grid. Every kwh is used, no waste. No grid--you re on your own. Potential for waste. Courtesy of DOE/NREL
26 Terms and Concepts Solar Fraction: Percentage of building s hot water requirements that can be met by solar at optimum economics (no waste). Example: Design to cover 100% of usage year-round, including winter. Minimal sun in winter, so need many collectors (expensive). But in summer sun, these collectors produce far more hot water than you use, and you can t store it or sell it. Wasted energy, wasted money.

28 Collector and System Types Courtesy ofnasa
29 Standard Water Heaters Typical gas heater: Direct flue. Much heat loss up the chimney. Low efficiency. (50 70%) Courtesy PG&E
30 Standard Water Heaters More improved model: Condensing heater. Extended flue which releases much of its heat to the water before venting. Vent gases are cool enough to condense. Efficiency around % Source: Energy Star
31 Standard Water Heaters Tankless Gas or electric. Can require special hookup service. Effectiveness related to usage patterns. Source: Energy Star
32 Collector and System Types Five main aspects of solar systems: 1. Heat collection 2. Heat transfer 3. Heat storage 4. Heat backup 5. Extreme temperature protection (freezing/stagnation)
33 Collector and System Types Five main aspects of solar thermal systems: 1. Heat Collection 2. Heat Transfer 3. Heat Storage 4. Heat Backup 5. Extreme Temperature Protection Solar panel Water or glycol Storage tank Gas or electric heater Special valves, pumps, processes, etc.
34 Collector and System Types Two types of heat transfer systems: 1. Open Loop (Direct) 2. Closed Loop (Indirect) water glycol Uses just the water from the main. Open to outside elements. Uses heat-transfer fluid in closed system. Needs heat exchanger.
35 Collector and System Types Further categorized by pumping source: 1. Passive (natural) 2. Active (electric pump) Thermosiphon process. Tank must be higher than collector. Must have electric source. Tank can be anywhere.
36 ICS: Integral Collector Storage 1. Heat Collection 3. Heat Storage Solar panel Storage tank Combined
37 ICS: Integral Collector Storage: 50% SF Courtesy energybychoice.com
38 ICS: Integral Collector Storage: 50% SF The Simplest Form of Solar Benefits Low first cost No moving parts Inherent overheat protection Moderate freeze protection Disadvantages Sensitive to ambient temperatures Weight Figure courtesy SunEarth Sample specifications Figure courtesy NREL

45 System Characteristics For typical tank-on-roof systems: Passive No pumps, nothing requiring outside power Closed Loop Heat-exchange loop is closed to new elements Also can be: Open Loop New fluid (water) is constantly entering system is open to new elements Figure courtesy NREL
46 Active Systems Low-Profile Active System Figure courtesy SunEarth Inc Benefits Highest thermal performance Freeze protection to 60 F Lightweight low roof profile Disadvantages Some active components More expense and maintenance Courtesy of DOE/NREL

50 System Characteristics For typical flat plate or evacuated tube systems: Active Uses pumps and other active elements Closed Loop Heat-exchange loop is closed to new elements Also can be: Low or High Pressure Different pressures for different system requirements Figure courtesy NREL
51 Freeze Protection Five different methods: 1. Thermal mass (ICS) 2. Auxiliary heater (electric element) 3. Antifreeze (closed loop) 4. Water flow (moving water won t freeze) 5. Draining (removing water from collector) Figure courtesy NREL
52 Drain-down and Drain-back Systems Drain-down: Drain down & out Open loop Removes water from collector and completely out of system onto ground or roof Drain-back: Drain back in later Closed loop Removes HX fluid from collector into tank, to be put back after freeze passes Figure courtesy NREL
