Schematic diagram of hot water and heating systems.
The hot water in the solar absorbers primarily heats the storage tank filled with domestic hot water via the heat exchanger.
Let s go through the diagram.
Cold water at.

Department of energy explains a typical active closed loop solar water heater hookup and shows the basic parts of a solar hot water system.
These are the main parts.
In practice solar heating systems are a little bit more sophisticated than this.
A typical solar hot water panel uses a flat plate collector like this.
