Solar water heater 100 ltr price in Bangalore

Solar water heater 100 ltr price in Bangalore, You should know about solar power first before going for any solar thermal system. Solar thermal system is based on the principle of converting sunlight into hot water (or steam) for use in heating homes and buildings. Solar water heating systems, commonly called solar hot water systems, convert the sun's rays into energy using a black-body absorber located inside a glass collector. When the temperature drops below, however, the efficiency decreases rapidly. Most solar thermal collectors have a maximum working temperature .

What Is A Solar Water Heater?

What Is A Solar Water Heater?,a solar water heater is a device that converts solar energy into useful heat. These devices utilize the power of the sun to create a warm liquid that can then be applied to our homes and businesses. In effect, a solar water heater is similar to a conventional electric water heater; however, instead of electricity, sunlight does the work. Our bodies need water to survive and if we do not drink enough water, we become dehydrated. If we live in a desert area where there may not be much access to fresh drinking water, having access to heated water would be helpful.  Thus, a solar water heater could be a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative.Buy solar water heater , contact Jupiter Solar , www.jupitersolars.in .

How Does Solar Power Work?

Solar powered water heaters make use of the sun's heat and convert it directly into usable hot water. There are several different types of solar water heaters depending on the desired output. The two basic designs are a direct (concentrating type) and indirect (reflecting type). Direct solar water heaters focus the sun's rays onto copper tubes , while indirect solar water heaters reflect the sunlight back towards the tubes. Both of these types of units produce hot water at high efficiencies, although the concentrating type has higher operating costs.

Cost And Efficiency Of Solar Water Heaters

To calculate how much you might save with a solar water heater, you'll need to determine the size and capacity of your current system along with an estimate of the total annual usage. Next, you'll need to figure out how much electricity you currently spend on your utility bill. Then simply divide those figures together. Your savings are determined by dividing the difference between your estimated monthly expenses and what you'd pay by the amount of energy your solar water heater produces. Let's assume you're saving $40 per month on your utility bills - that equals $480 annually. To calculate the approximate number of gallons of hot water produced by your existing system, multiply the volume of your tank by the average flow rate. Once again, let's say you have 5 gallons of storage capacity and your current flow rate is 10 gallons per day. That means you're producing 500 gallons of hot water each year. Divide that by 12 months to find your monthly consumption. Now subtract both the $240 annual savings and the $500 annual production from the $960 total cost of your present system. What's left over is how much money you stand to save by switching to a solar water heater.

Size And Capacity

You'll want to consider the size and capacity of the solar water heater you plan to install before making a decision. Many manufacturers offer models ranging from 100 litre to 200 solar water heaters. The larger the system, the greater the potential savings. Smaller systems can be installed outside while larger ones may requires a free standing structure . A good rule of thumb is to buy the largest solar heater unit possible. Keep in mind that the size of your home or business building will affect the size and weight of your solar water heater. Obviously, larger homes and buildings require bigger and heavier units.

Installation

Most solar water heaters are preassembled and ready to go once you've purchased them. However, they do require some installation work. After placing the solar heater unit in its final location, you'll need to add the hardware. Finally, fill the reservoir with water. Depending on where you live, the process may take a few hours before you start receiving hot water.

Maintenance

Solar water heaters don't require very high maintenance once they've been installed. You won't need to worry about replacing the elements until the solar water heating units are working or cleaning the panels since their performance will remain unchanged. However, you may want to clean the surface of the black-body absorbers every so often. Fortunately, they are easy to remove and replace. Also, remember to keep your unit clear of debris such as snow and leaves.

Water Heater

Water heating systems are used to warm water for bathing, cooking, washing purposes, etc. A solar water heater uses solar power to heat the water directly without using any fuel. In some cases, they use a storage tank where hot water is stored until required. These tanks are filled once a day and then heated by the sun. Heating water by boiling is considered efficient since many percentage of the energy goes . Solar water heaters, however, convert this thermal energy into electricity . Energy efficiency is thus increased. Other types of water heaters are gas-based, electric ones.

Storage Tank

The storage tank is the place where hot water is kept. When the temperature drops below a certain level, the pump sends water back to the boiler. Another type of storage tank is the closed loop system where water circulates continuously between the boiler and the tank.

Boiler

A boiler is a device that takes water at room temperature and heats it to high temperatures. Once the water reaches these high temperatures, it is sent to a tank where the excess heat is removed and converted to useful energy. Depending on the size of the boiler, it may need to have a fan inside to remove extra heat. The fan can either run constantly or only while the water is being pumped.

Pumping System

Pumping systems move water from one point to another. There are many different pumps, but some of the most common ones include centrifugal, screw, and piston pumps.

Electric Motor

Electric motors are the devices that turn the mechanical energy of steam or electrical energy into kinetic energy. An electric motor uses electric current to create rotating force. The rotor spins within the stator, converting it to rotary motion. The electric motor converts electrical energy into rotational energy which is then transferred to the shaft turning the impeller blades.

Impeller Blades

Impellers are the blades that are attached to the shaft. To improve efficiency, the blades spin faster by increasing RPM (revolutions per minute). The higher RPM increases the pressure of the water pushing it outward forcing it to flow around the outside of the impeller blades. This helps the water leave the impeller blades in a continuous stream and exit the unit.

Air Pump

Air pumps help move air across surfaces, keeping them clean and preventing mold and bacteria buildup. Air pumps are often used in air conditioning units to move cool air over coils and condensers.

Solar Power Eases A Bad Ice Storm

[hometoursandotherstuff]

I don't know what to think about the price of this 1980 "storybook cottage," according to the real estate description, b/c it has 1bd, 1ba (which is separate from the house, and called a "wash shed w/some bathroom facilities.") Located in Coupeville, WA, the asking price is $315k + $39mo. HOA.

Enter the living room area. Lots of windows, so it's light and bright. The wood stove is the only heat source, but there is electricity and water to the house. (The description says that the heat source is a wood stove and fireplaces, but I don't see any fireplaces.)

Next to the living room area there's a ladder to the bedroom on the 2nd fl., and a little kitchen.

This is cute. I suppose that you can use a cooktop, and there's a microwave on top of the little fridge, which are included in the sale.

There's a sink, but I'm not sure about a water heater.

The stairs have a cute branch decor. If there's electricity, I would put in electric heat. There's a 30 amp hookup for an RV, also.

Upstairs there's a loft bed and a tiny home office.

I don't see a heat source up here, though.

This is actually cute.

Outdoors, there's a large open storage structure.

And, this is the wash shed.

What is the little square thing connected to the electricity? Is it a heater?

Well, there's a sink & a composting toilet, but I don't see a shower.

Is that a tub? There are other outbuildings, also.

The property is 4.71 "established acres." I don't know what that means.

There's a local trail system and the description says that the new owner can make their own. There's also access to a community beach.

Look at how cute. If there's hunting allowed, it would be a deal breaker for me.

This is weird- are those the neighbors' names? Looks like this is one of the largest properties. I think that the little house can be expanded and improved upon.

[seat-safety-switch]

So-called motorcylists love to shove their beloved bikes away whenever there's a little bit of snow on the road. That's because motorcyclists are famously concerned with their public perception. They don't want to drive around town with wood screws run through their tires, shrieking profanities at stopped traffic before ripping a perfect 12 'o' clocker and driving across the iced-over multi-use-pathway, comfortable in their knowledge that the police will not and can not follow. Or it's because they don't have heated grips, and their handsies get cold.

Heated steering wheels are the single greatest innovation in cars in the last two hundred years. Unfortunately for me, they hadn't been installed into cars of the age I own. In the late 1970s, the newest innovation in steering wheel comfort was "maybe make them a little smaller, for the ladies." Seems like I was cursed to a lifetime of wondering if my thermostat was seized, freezing to death even through many layers of mittens and work gloves while waiting for the tow truck to arrive and clean up the commuters in front of me.

Of course, Plymouth also didn't equip this car with a lot of other modern features. For instance, liquid-cooled active speed laser and radar jamming was not available. Active pursuit drones pre-programmed with a seek-and-destroy order for all speed cameras were not yet on the market, unless you worked for the CIA. And also the good people of China had not figured out how to make $35 45-millimetre ball-bearing turbochargers capable of adding nearly four hundred horsepower to any engine strong enough to keep its guts on the inside when presented with one medium-sized jet engine's worth of boost. I had to add all those things myself.

Easy, right? Run some wires to a heating element on the steering wheel. There's just one complication: steering wheels turn. If I keep spinning the car left and right, eventually the wire will get tangled up and rip itself out, causing an electrical fire. Admittedly, that will also keep my hands warm, but the walk home after is inconvenient.

The original "engineers" who took a whisky-soaked gander at this car before slapping their secretaries on the ass had a solution, though. In every steering wheel, the horn button has the same problem. Unfortunately for me, the horn hasn't worked in this car since 1983, which complicated my attempts to reuse the wiring.

Ultimately, I came up with what a rocket scientist would call "a compromise." A pair of bolt cutters and a map to the local truck-supply warehouse's storage yard soon provided me with a nifty diesel-fired interior heater, a roaring flame that consumes all and produces enough heat to make toast from three feet away. Ratchet-strapped to the place where the passenger seat used to be, it will keep my fingers warm, as well as my feet and every other part of my body. Sure, it's inconvenient having to continually refill it with stolen farm diesel, and I could have run the exhaust pipe out of the cabin a better way than through the rust hole in the floor. Once you get that heated seat feeling, though, you simply can't go back. If you'll excuse me, I need to get going: if I don't get to work in the next five minutes, my boots will melt again.

Excerpt from this Op-Ed from the New York Times:

To keep the lights on, many utility companies are proposing to build dozens of new power plants that burn natural gas. North Carolina-based Duke Energy alone wants to add 8.9 gigawatts of new gas-fired capacity — more than the entire country added in 2023. Using their own projections of soaring energy demands as justification, these companies are also pushing back on the climate targets set by their states and the Biden administration.

If state regulators sign off on these plans, they will be gambling with our country’s future. We need to electrify everything from cars to appliances to slow climate change, but we won’t be able to reach our climate goals if we power all of those machines with dirty energy.

There is a better way. But to get there, legislators will need to overhaul the incentives driving utilities to double down on natural gas, so that they can turn a profit without cooking the planet.

Companies like Duke, Dominion Energy and Georgia Power argue that they need more gas-fired plants to reliably provide power during times of peak demand — for instance, on a hot summer weekday afternoon when home cooling systems and data servers are all humming at maximum output, and the grid strains to keep up. But those peaks tend to materialize only for a few dozen hours per year, and there are ways to deal with them that don’t require a massive amount of new methane-burning infrastructure.

The real reason the utilities want to build these plants is quite simple: The more stuff they build, the more money they make. Regulators let utilities charge their customers enough money to cover what they spend on assets like combustion turbines and wires, plus a generous rate of return (up to 10 percent) for their investors. This longstanding arrangement incentivizes power providers to build expensive things whether society needs them or not, in lieu of lower-cost, cleaner options, and to invoke their duty to keep the lights on as a post hoc rationalization.

Fortunately, utilities have plenty of ways to meet this new need.

They include “virtual power plants” — when technologies such as home batteries, rooftop solar systems, smart water heaters and thermostats are linked together and managed via software to provide the same services as a conventional power plant. Utilities in Vermont, Colorado and Massachusetts are already using them, to quickly respond to rising demand at a much lower cost than operating natural gas combustion turbines. According to one estimate, virtual power plants could lower U.S. utilities’ costs by as much as $35 billion over the next decade.

Utilities could also accelerate efforts to replace outdated transmission lines with newer ones that can carry double the electric current and to bring more battery storage online. They can compensate customers for using less energy during times when demand is high and invest far more in energy efficiency, helping customers to adopt devices that use less electricity.

All of these solutions would save customers money and reduce carbon emissions. They could, according to a Department of Energy analysis, meet the entire projected growth in U.S. peak electricity demand over the next decade.

Moving Night Blues

"Welp, here we are. Hiveblock sweet hiveblock," Corali said as she unlocked the door of her apartment. Thiomi stood close to her and looked around warily. The area was on the rough side, and she was more than a little worried for her moirail's safety despite Nacre's assurance that Corali would be more or less safe. Not that she really needed to worry considering Corali was able to fight trolls several castes above her, especially if her secondary psionics activated.

As Corali entered and flicked the lights on, Thiomi took one last look down at her lusus on the ground floor of the complex and hoped no one tried to hurt her while she was inside. She may be fast and big as a truck, but she was no more of a fighter than Thiomi herself. She squeaked in surprise and jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she whirled around to be greeted by Corali grinning with her hands help up in front of her.

"Whoa, 's just me, li'l miss ma'am. Don't tell me yer that scared just bein' here. Meemaw's gonna be fine, an' so'r you. Now come look around with me, yeh?" Corali asked and gently ushered her inside. Thiomi fussed with the sleeves of her sweater for a moment before looking around the modest one-bedroom hiveblock.

The space was sparsely furnished, so much so that calling it furnished felt like a stretch. The only furniture present in the living space was a modest dining room table with a couple of chairs. No couch or coffee table, no microwave, not even carpet or a rug. Corali ran a hand through her hair as she looked at her new home with a blank expression while Thiomi wore a disapproving grimace.

Corali looked down at the smaller woman's expression and put an arm around her shoulder. "Aw c'mon, don't look so sour. 'S normal fer hiveblocks ta be empty when ya move in. Where d'ya think we are, the highblood district? Honestly, the table an' chairs is more'n I was expectin'."

"I know, but... I mean, when you s-said Nacre was s-setting things up for you, I assumed more would be done, that's all. It took s-so long, and it's just a table and chairs," she complained as she continued to look around the mostly barren space. Corali gave an amused "Pfft" and ruffled Thiomi's hair.

"Beggars can't be choosers, miss ma'am. I asked her fer a place, an' she got me one. 'Sides, I don't mind it at all. Means I get ta make the place look how I want instead a havin' it decided fer me," Corali reasoned and walked further into the apartment. Thiomi sighed and followed behind her. At least it's clean, she thought as she dragged a finger along the kitchen countertop.

The rest of the apartment took less than a minute to peruse. The bathroom was small but functional for one person. The sink was in the open in its own section while the toilet and shower/tub were behind a door. Across from the bathroom was the bedroom occupied by a single recuperacoon in the corner of the room near the bedroom window.

Corali frowned at the sight of a recuperacoon rather than a bed. The slime looked fairly fresh, and the size was large enough to accommodate a troll of her stature, but she still sighed in disappointment at the sight of it. She didn't even try to hide the wince and the grimace that plastered itself on her face.

"Prolly shoulda told Miss Nacre I ain't a 'coon user," she mumbled and pulled two suitcases and a backpack from her sylladex to sit on the floor near the closet. The thought of being completely or even partially submerged sent an aggressive shudder up her spine. That'd have to go ASAP. "Guess I'ma be sleepin' at the table fer a li'l while."

"The closet is a good s-size, at least," Thiomi remarked from inside. There was plenty of space allocated of hangers and a small column of open storage shelves. The electric heater for the apartment also being in the closet wasn't ideal and took quite a bit of space, but, well. Beggars can't be choosers.

With an "Arright, let's get started" from Corali, the two women set about unpacking the small amounts of luggage Corali brought with her. Only one of the suitcases, the smaller of the two, contained her clothes: A couple of work uniforms, some casual clothes, her workout clothes, and a set of pajamas Thiomi bought for her. The backpack was mainly necessities such as her hair brush and comb, hand soap, dish soap, shampoo and conditioner, wash cloths, her toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, and toiler paper.

The second and largest suitcase was full of items Thiomi insisted on buying for her to make the place feel more like a home: a dish and silverware set, food seasonings, pictures of her loved ones, a throw blanket, a stuffed mole plushie that was meant to represent her lusus, an unwelcome mat, some scented candles, and DVDs of a couple of her favorite movies.

It took all of forty-five minutes to unpack and put away everything, afterwards Corali ordered a pizza -- Half meat-lovers and half vegetable supreme -- and soda from the nearest pizza place and had it delivered.

"So whatcha think, miss ma'am? Ya warmed up ta the place any now that it's a li'l less barren?" Corali asked with a smile before taking a large bite of hot pizza which she then spit out with a "Fuck me!" then just about inhaling a large swig of soda. Thiomi laughed and waited for her slice to cool down a little.

"I guess it's not... s-so bad. I s-still think there s-should be more here with how long you waited," she answered and took a modest sip from her glass. Corali rolled her eyes as she fanned her tongue sticking out of her mouth cartoonishly.

"Ah hol' you ith hot a bihg dheal," she said still fanning her singed taste buds before picking up the bite she spat out and plopping it back in her mouth. Thiomi only responded with a sigh and took another drink. The casual air soon turned thick with discomfort and tense from words not being said as silence settled between them. The pizza and soda could only be a distraction for the rust for so long before she picked up on the change in atmosphere. She stared at Thiomi with a raised brow.

"What's the matter? If yer still sore about how empty the place was, don't be. I can buy my own furniture an' niceties an' all that jazz. Expectin' the place ta have all the bells an' whistles is unreasonable," Corali said before taking a tentative second bite of pizza. Thiomi fussed with her sleeves under the table and looked down at her untouched pizza. With a bite of her lip, she looked back at Corali.

"C-can I... Can I s-stay with you today?" she finally asked. The rust chewed more slowly and thoughtfully as she stared her moirail down in search of a motive for her question.

"Ihf yer whorried abhout the arhea-- Fuck, hold on," Corali started to say with her mouth still full before finally swallowing so she could continue unabated, "If yer worried about the area, y'shouldn't be. I can more'n defend myself against anyone'r anythin' that tries comin' through that door."

"It's... i-it's not that," Thiomi confessed and looked away again. "We've been living together for perigees, and before that we s-spent a few perigees with Dantli. I haven't been alone, actually alone, s-since everything happened, and now... now you're leaving, and I'll be all by myself in my hive, and... I'm s-still s-so s-scared.

"I know you keep s-saying the trouble with Joclyn is over because s-she's left us alone for s-so long, but what if that's her plan? To leave us alone long enough that our guard's down s-so s-she can cause trouble again? I s-still keep replaying what happened -- My kidnapping, being held hostage, being tortured and dumped, the two weeks in the hospital! I-I-I can't s-stop thinking about it!

"It's been s-six perigees, but it s-still feels like it was only a few nights ago for me! I-- I can't do this!!"

Thiomi curled in on herself crying and starting to hyperventilate from panic. Corali knocked her chair to the floor as she stood up and hurried to her side. It only took a second for Thiomi to latch onto her and cling to her like a frightened child hugging her security blanket. Corali, having no idea what to say to quell her panic attack, moved to sit on the floor with Thiomi now in her lap.

"'S alright, Thiomi. I gotcha. I gotcha," Corali said and held her close. They stayed hugging each other until Thiomi managed to calm down half an hour later, though not even a crowbar could separate her from Corali. Corali mentally cursed, not sure if Thiomi's therapist was dropping the ball dealing with her anxiety, or if (more likely) Thiomi still wasn't being fully honest with her and let this paranoia fester.

Whatever the case, she was tired of being useless when it came to the emotional aspects of being a moirail. Sure, holding her and offering reassurances worked in the short-term, but it wasn't fixing the core issue. It was just reapplying bandages to an open wound that refused to heal. There had to be something--

That's when it hit her, a solution so obvious she wondered how Thiomi didn't think of it herself.

"Y'all don't feel safe in yer hive on account a Joclyn knowin' she can find ya there, right? Why don'tcha just move inta Dantli's hive? Ain't no way a troll can get through that gauntlet a traps he got set up, an' if they do he'll die b'fore he lets someone so much as tap ya on the shoulder with ill intent. I can't think a no place safer, an' ya know he'd be happy as a pig in mud ta have ya there."

Thiomi went silent as she mulled over the suggestion in her head.

"That s-sounds like a good idea, but... but that's s-still just hiding from my problem instead of resolving it. Kamava--"

"Kamava don't know about none a this, does she? At least not all of it," Corali asked, and the feeling of Thiomi stiffening against her was all the confirmation she needed. With an exasperated sigh, she placed her metal hand on Thiomi's head and gently rubbed the base of her horns. "Thiomi, ya know I love y'all ta the moons an' back, but if y'ain't gonna be honest with yer therapist an' tell her all a what's wrong, what're ya even payin' her fer?"

"... I know," Thiomi said so weakly Corali barely heard her. Corali started to gently push Thiomi off her so she could look her in the eyes. It took more than a little coaxing for the gesture to be allowed, and even then Thiomi wouldn't look at her face. Corali removed her hand from atop her head and used it to tilt her head up to look her in the eyes.

"Yer right. Movin' in with Dan ain't fixin' the problem, but yer way too paranoid ta be left alone in yer hive, so until ya tell yer therapist all this an' let her help ya -- An y'all will be tellin' her all this an' lettin' her help ya -- make it easy on yerself. Once y'ain't a paranoid mess anymore, just move back in. Promise me yer gonna do that, 'kay?" Corali told her and removed her hand from her hand to hold up a pinky. Thiomi, diluted olive green forming in the corners of her eyes, held up a pinky and intertwined it with Corali's.

"I promise I'll tell Kamava everything, for real this time. No more holding back," she said ashamedly, and the two shook on it.

"Good. Now let's get back ta our cold pizza an' warm soda," Corali stated jokingly and slowly stood up and helped Thiomi onto her feet as well. She looked toward the front door. "We're gonna have ta find some kinda way ta get meemaw up them steps an' through that door if yer stayin' the day 'less ya want the undead ta get her."

"I think s-she can get through if we both push from the other s-side."

"Why couldn't ya have a dog-sized lusus, miss ma'am?"

"I didn't choose her, you know, hehe."

"Excuses. If she breaks my door frame, yer explainin' what happened ta maintenance, an' unlike yer big softy matesprit ya can't just bat yer li'l eyes at them an' make 'em fergive ya."

"Haha, wanna bet? We know my s-sad eyes are irresistable."

"Arright, yer on. Now let's go get her and try ta stuff her in here without breakin' nothin."

Here’s a beautiful 1910 stone house in Winona Lake, Indiana. It has 5 bds. 6ba. & is listed for $575K.

Interesting entrance hall. The stairs are hidden behind a wall. I like a house that’s staged a little “lived-in.” I just saw one that was so perfect and stiff, I couldn’t get thru it, even though it was beautiful. 

Sitting room directly off the entrance hall. 

The sitting room opens with pocket doors into the dining room that has a beautiful fireplace.

And, the dining room opens directly to a renovated kitchen. The kitchen is lovely and I especially like the punch of color on the turquoise cabinet.

This room is set up as a multi-purpose room.

The small enclosed porch is very cozy and they’ve installed an electric heater so it can be enjoyed in winter.

The main bd. and en suite.

Love the window in this room.

Looks like they’re selling the house b/c they no longer need 5 bds.

The shape of this bd. places it in the turret in the rear of the home- very cool.

The basement has a neatly finished laundry room and storage space.

The home is completely fenced in with back & side yards. Plus, there’s also a 2 car garage and lots of parking.

Looks like it’s in a nice neighborhood, right across from a park and near a big lake.
