Solar Hot Water Systems - Mild Temps

Open-loop solar water heating systems, also known as Drainback Systems or Direct Systems, are for areas that never experience freezing temperatures - ever! The pump must fill the system at startup, and then the system drains when the pump shuts off. Start by considering the number of people in the household. Then you will have the choice of AC or PV powered solar hot water systems and systems that come with storage tanks or without tanks.
