Solar water heater is mandatory for new buildings and apartments in cities and some states of India. Today property buyers and owners of apartment buildings are interested in new ways to lessen their water and electricity expenditures. A trend of “Eco Friendly Homes” or “green homes” are seen among builders and property buyers. The benefits of green homes are many. They help save energy, conserve water and recycle waste. Solar water heater is one such home appliance that runs on solar energy and saves you more than 50 per cent on your energy bills.
Solar water heaters are better alternative to water heaters that run on gas or other non renewable fossil fuels. Architects and builders have started installing solar water heater for new buildings and apartments. In some states government has made solar water heater mandatory for sanctioning the building plan.

Water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions. Installing a climate friendly hot water system can save your energy bill and saves environment. The amount of energy, the sun emits every second is certainly incomparable to any other source of fossil fuel existing on earth. Solar water heaters are cost-effective way to generate hot water for your home. Solar water heating systems are designed to deliver the optimum amount of hot water for most of the year.
There are two types of solar water heating systems-active and passive system.
A solar water heater is a long-term investment that will save you money and energy for many years. Although the initial cost of solar water heaters is higher than that of conventional water heaters, it consumes no cost as the fuel (sunshine) is free and they are environmentally friendly.
Solar water heating systems can be successfully installed on the terrace of apartment blocks in high rise buildings. Number of dwelling units, persons, number of bathrooms, frequency of hot water required, purpose etc should be considered while accessing the suitability of the solar water heating systems. The building may be fitted with either a single system of adequate capacity meeting the hot water needs for all the apartments or different smaller systems supplying hot water to a group of flats.
Installing a solar water heater yourself, might be a bit difficult. You need to have the knowledge of the local weather, the amount of sunlight that you’ll be receiving, safety criteria and the code requirements of the local apartment. Solar water heating systems include storage tanks and solar collectors. Solar water heaters normally do not require a lot of maintenance, yet you need to promptly perform a regular check of the entire system to avoid malfunctioning and damage.

I’ve experienced a solar geyser first-hand and found a few issues that potential buyers might like to consider.
The first is that while the water becomes warm enough for a bath, it really doesn’t become as hot as many people would like. Great for places with mild climate such as Bangalore, but I have a strong feeling it’ll fall flat in a place like Delhi or Chandigarh.
The second: if piping length is too long, you might have to drain as much as two buckets of cold water before hot water reaches the tap. It seems such a waste!
The third is that a solar geyser costs 2-3 times that of a conventional geyser. OK, so it’ll amortize the cost over time by the amount you save on your electricity bill, but be prepared to fork out more up front.
Finally, a solar geyser needs to be on the roof to maximum solar energy receptivity; I wonder if it’ll ever work in apartments.
Personally, I’m planning to experiment with a hybrid system once I plan my own house, one that will include an in-line instant geyser to warm up the water to a more desirable temperature, coupled with shorter insulated piping lengths to reduce initial wastage, but I don’t know if such a system exists commercially in India yet.
I would like to tel you personal experience, i have installed before 10 yrs the solar glass colletor heater, i get almost 90 deg water, apart from that i was paying 1000 rs and in excess for a four member household per mth as electrical charges, now i pay about 250 rs . I would like to mention that herei n bangalore we have a rebate from the electricity board of 40 rs. I think i have saved myself each year abt 10 000 rs, andin ten yrs abt a lakh, but however the water drawn from the length of pipe can be stored elsewerein a container, apart fromthat since most people bathe in the morning, i think once the bathing process starts in the family, the water flowing remaines hot. hope it solves your problem, reg your in line geyser, we have one instant geyser which is used for rainy days, however beware of the copper collector solar heaters, i suggest you try to see more regarding the vacuum glass collector models. Bye all the best for your new house

I like this content.Solar water heater is mandatory for new buildings and apartments in cities and some states of India.This is an amazing.I appreciate to this blog.Keep it up.I will keep share in future.
Solar water heating systems use free heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water. A traditional boiler or immersion heater can be used to make the water hotter, or to provide hot water when solar energy is unavailable.
Solar systems properly sized can supply plenty of water and save lots of energy but work better in certain climates and require significant investment in the installation. Hybrid water heaters offer amazing energy savings without the extra installation costs and should also be considered.
Are we supposed to pay service tax for solar heater provided by builder in residential flats?
