A solar powered heating system, is made up of a solar heat collector, housed in an insulated framework, one side of which, is made up of toughened glass that faces the sun’s arc. The complete unit, or panel, must be placed in an unobstructed, elevated position so as to capture the maximum amount of daily sunshine. Depending upon heating requirements, a group of solar panels can be placed in parallel, in order to deliver the desired amount of heated water to the hot water receiver.
