A 200L solar water heater is the most popular and best selling capacity water heater among homeowners in India. The solar water heater is a device that uses light from the sun to heat water using the thermosiphon principle. This way of heating water is environmentally generous and it also saves precious power.

The 200 liter solar water heater is an efficient and cost effective solar water heater which is used to heat water with the help of sun power or solar power. People are finding this specific water heater as a sustainable and affordable water heating solution. It can save you up to 2500 units per year. Also, the Indian government supports it by giving a huge subsidy to install solar water heaters.

Hence, with a 200L solar water heater, you can get hot water without consuming expensive electricity. Using solar power for heating water is better than traditional heating methods because-

  • A solar water heater uses fuel (sunlight) that is free of cost.
  • This system is quite durable. It lasts for around 20 years and more. 
  • It works on renewable and clean energy reducing carbon emissions.
  • A solar water heater is more efficient than other water heating systems as it converts almost 80% of the sun’s radiation into heat.
  • A solar water heating system saves space, requires lesser maintenance and cheap installment.

There are different types of 200L solar water heater available in various solar technologies, so it’s worth spending 10 minutes reading this information and selecting the best type that meet all your needs.

Components and Working of a 200L Solar Water Heater

A 200L solar water heating system comes with solar collectors (the main component), a storage tank (to store the heated water) and connecting wires (to connect the components).

The system works on solar power to warm water. A set of solar collectors are connected to an insulated tank kept at a height. In the daytime, these collectors work to absorb the solar energy to heat the water running through them. The heated water is shifted to the storage tank through thermosiphon principle for future use.

When hot water is not used for a day or two, liquids in collectors and storage can reach high temperatures in all non-corrugated systems. When the storage tank in a drainage system reaches its desired temperature, the pump stops, the heating process is terminated and thus protects the storage tank from overwriting.

#2. Types of 200L Water Heater

There are two types of solar water heater evacuated tube collector (ETC) and flat plate collector (FPC) solar water heater. Both these types of solar water heaters help many users to save their electricity bill or any other fuel like gas, diesel etc.

FPC type solar water heater performs better in hot climatic conditions, while ETC type solar water heater performs better in cool climatic conditions.

The FPC solar water heater is further divided into 4 types-

    • Non Pressurized or Standard (NPX)
    • Pressurized (Px.)
    • Heat Exchanger (HE)
    • Pressurized with heat exchanger (Px. HE)

#3. ETC 200 Liter Water Heater

The ETC 200 Litre water heater is one of the most popular solar water heaters with high quality and reliability that gives excellent performance even in adverse weather conditions.

ETC stands for Evacuated Tube Collector which indicates that the collector has its tubes evacuated creating vacuum. The tubes are co-axial, fused at both ends. The vacuum they develop works as insulation. Its high efficiency evacuated tube collector ensures maximum absorption of solar energy.

There is a selective coating at the outer surface of the inner tube. This characteristic results in increasing sunlight absorption. Besides, the tank’s high quality insulation ensures negligible drop in hot water temperature at night or in cold weather conditions.

How does ETC solar water heater works?

Normal or cold water is filled in the storage tank till it flows into the tubes and fills them too. When the sun rises, the collectors absorb the solar energy and transfer it to the water inside the tube. As the water gets heated, it becomes lighter and rises to top, above the cold water. The top header pipe carries the heated water into the tank till the temperature of water in the tank and the tube becomes identical. At the end of the day, the system is ready with an insulated storage tank full of hot water that can be used when required.

#4. FPC 200 Liter Water Heater

FPC 200L solar water heater is the most commonly used solar heater. It is best known for being a good investment as it is appreciably durable. 

This kind of system comes with an absorber sheet inside a powerful glass covered insulated metallic box. Inside this black metallic absorbent sheet there are manufactured in channels or riser tubes to carry water. This absorber made of copper which is coated with a selective coating. 

Then comes the riser tube connected to the absorber that carries the water to be heated. And then connected to the riser tubes, there are two more tubes called headers, specifically a top header and a bottom header.

How does FPC solar water heater works?

Solar radiation is absorbed by flat plates with an insulated outer metal box topped with a sheet of glass.The absorber absorbs solar radiation and transfers heat to the flowing water. The coating of the absorber increases the absorption manifolds. In the top header tube, the heated water rises and moves to the storage tank till the temperature of the entire system equalises.
