Solar water setup needs servicing

AlanD · 2021-06-12 10:06:18

Hi, I have a 60 tube solar water heater on my roof. Installed since about 2008 and worked well until last year. Now it won’t heat our water at all, even on the sunniest of days.

Hi,

I have a 60 tube solar water heater on my roof. Installed since about 2008 and worked well until last year. Now it won’t heat our water at all, even on the sunniest of days.

The fluid has been renewed/refreshed about 9 months ago, but still it’s not heating. The pump works.

I’ve a feeling the thermostat at the roof is not working as well as it should and so the temp differential doesn’t kick off the pump.

I’m looking for someone who could help get this system back up and running, but can’t seem to find someone to do it.

It seems that the solar industry has moved to solar pv and the few folks I’ve called have no interest in servicing my set up.

Can anyone here help?
