How to Use Solar Energy for Keeping House Warm

Solar energy can be preserved and used by having the solar panels in our residential and commercial buildings. We can save lots of money by installing the solar panels by solar installers as the one time investment made for these devices saves us from huge electricity bills. The solar panels are advantageous in keeping our houses warm to a great extent. Certain tips can help us to make the maximum use of solar energy to heat our houses.

Sun-heated pipes

The sun-heated pipes of water fitted on the roof of the house and moved into the water heater keep the rooms hot in a big way. You can get enough heat through these pipes that enable you to get enough warmth in the cold seasons while you sit in your rooms. The sun-filtering glass also helps a lot to keep the solar rooms hot. Such rooms are usually made of glass. The sun rays pass into such rooms and the air is trapped and heats the room. Some pieces of large stones also help in retaining heat in the solar rooms that become sufficiently help with the solar energy through the sun rays.

Water heater

An investment made for solar water heater can help in providing hot water to any room in your house and the solar energy can thus be used in a viable manner. This will reduce the electricity bill to great extent in respect of the electric water heater. Same is true with the natural gas heater too that can be saved greatly in terms of its use if the solar water heater is there. You can use it for heating the house.

Pumping

The pumps that run on solar energy keep the water hot and thus result in heating the houses in a big way. The solar power runs the DC motor and the solar-powered batteries provide power to the pump too and save you from the power bills.

Hot water tanks

Some people use solar energy for heating the water in specially prepared small pools in their houses. The water is preserved in such tanks that are left open in the sun and the water gets heated considerably with the solar energy. We can use such water for our household activities like bathing, washing and cleaning utensils etc. in the cold seasons. The hot water increases the house-temperature too.

Reduction in moisture

The solar energy reduces the moisture in a considerable manner that in turn results in enhanced temperature in our houses that get heated. The sun rays passing through the windows, doors and ventilators etc. keep the house warm and we are relieved of the pains of the cold winds. That’s the reason most people nowadays prefer to have the solar energy panels installed in their houses that is a natural way of heating.

Heat through lighting

The lighting systems in our houses also emit enough heat that results in sufficient warmth of our houses. Solar energy helps us by providing cost free lighting that results in enhanced warmth of our houses.
