How Solar Water Heater Panels Work – An Overview for Tampa Bay Area Residents

Solar water heater panels can be found on an ever-growing number of homes across the Tampa Bay area. Heating water by means of solar energy is a highly economical practice that can slash the size of your energy bills and also help you be kinder to the environment. Solar water heater panels come in three general types: BATCH COLLECTORS Also called integrated collector storage systems, batch collectors heat water in tubes or a tank contained inside an insulated box. FLAT PLATE COLLECTORS These typically consist of copper tubing connected to a flat solar energy absorber plate that is contained in an insulated box and covered by tempered glass. EVACUATED TUBE COLLECTORS Similar to how thermoses work, evacuated tube collectors feature an inner, liquid-containing tube surrounded by a larger glass tube that provides insulation. Air is removed (evacuated) from the space in between to further inhibit heat loss.

Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.

This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.

Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
