Technical FAQs 4

Should a solar water heating cylinder be bigger than a gas cylinder?

The storage cylinder should be larger than for a single energy source cylinder such as gas or electric, so that when there is good solar gain, the cylinder can store the heat that is available. The boosting element in a solar water heating cylinder needs to be installed and configured to:

What should a solar water heating cylinder do?

Storage cylinders should be designed to meet household hot water needs, maximise the amount of water heated by solar radiation, and protect safety. On this page: Solar water heating cylinders must: have sufficient capacity to meet both peak loads and overall daily demand without requiring excessive use of a booster heating system.

Can a solar hot water cylinder be used on a roof?

Some open loop solar water heating systems incorporate a solar hot water cylinder, while others can be used with a remote or existing hot water storage cylinder. The storage cylinder may be on the roof just above the solar panels or separate, e.g. inside the roof space or fixed to the exterior of the building.

Where should a storage cylinder be located?

The storage cylinder may be on the roof just above the solar panels or separate, e.g. inside the roof space or fixed to the exterior of the building. The weight of the water must be considered when sizing framing for roof-mounted or ceiling space cylinders, and the cylinder must have earthquake restraints.
