SOLAR WATER HEATERS IN UGANDA

The two main subcategories of solar hot water heaters are passive and active. Active systems need circulating pumps to move water, whereas passive systems rely on gravity to do so. This is the main distinction between the two. Active systems may use antifreeze as a heat exchanger fluid and need electricity to operate.

There are subcategories of active and passive systems that are tailored for different climatic conditions, tasks, capacities, and budgets. The one that’s best for you will depend on a variety of elements, such as:

• Accessible area

• Sunshine is accessible

• The size of your capacity needs

• Building standards and laws in your area

• Your installation price range
