Laundry Room Addition
This photo shows the solar collector above the laundry room. The room itself is below the collector and behind the small window. The photo shows details that are needed for installation including the mounting hardware for the panel, the small photo-voltaic panel that powers the circulating pump (top left corner of the water heating panel) and the piping to and from the collector tank. This system is an open loop system. The potable water is circulated through the panel and returned to the tank located in the laundry room below. It works well in our area because we don't have issues with freezing. In colder climates, closed loop systems can be used. Frank Baptie Photography
