Is wall-mounted solar energy easy to use? Brief introduction of advantages and disadvantages of wall-mounted solar water heater

Is wall-mounted solar energy easy to use? This is a question that many consumers will have when choosing a water heater. Wall-mounted solar water heater is a kind of equipment that uses solar energy to heat water. It is installed on the external wall of the building and does not occupy the roof space. Suitable for middle and high-rise residential buildings. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of wall-mounted solar water heaters? Here is a brief introduction.

Advantages of wall-mounted solar water heater:

1. Easy to use, fully automatic water supply, arbitrary temperature adjustment, no manual control, simple operation.

2. Beautiful appearance, smooth lines of the heat collecting plate, simple shape, elegant appearance and simple installation, which can better reflect the noble taste of villa and high-rise residential owners.

3. Energy saving and environmental protection, using solar energy as a heat source, no electricity and gas consumption, saving energy expenditure, reducing carbon emissions, in line with the concept of low-carbon life.

4. Safe and reliable, different from the vacuum tube solar water heater, which is easy to freeze, blow and smash the tube, the wall-mounted solar water heater uses heat-conducting medium to heat circularly, which has the functions of antifreeze, explosion-proof and leakage-proof, and has a long service life.

Defects of wall-mounted solar water heater;

1. The thermal efficiency is low, because the wall-mounted solar water heater needs twice heat transfer to heat the water in the water storage tank, so its thermal efficiency is lower than that of the roof-mounted solar water heater.

2. Affected by the weather, solar water heaters eat according to the weather, with hot water on sunny days and not hot on cloudy or rainy days. Therefore, it is necessary to equip auxiliary equipment such as electric heating or gas heating, which increases the cost and difficulty in use.

3. Maintenance is inconvenient. The wall-mounted solar water heater is installed on the external wall. Once it breaks down or needs cleaning and maintenance, it is time-consuming and laborious to need professional on-site service.
