Is it possible to integrate the Solar Hot water system into the design of my house?
Yes! The system can be designed into your house to fit unobtrusively on to a sloping roof, with a storage tank concealed, etc. This is best done, with the active involvement of your architect with our representative at the design stage itself, any modifications or changes later on are difficult … Read More
What is the estimated life of a Solar Hot Water System?
Inter Solar uses all Aluminum, Stainless Steel or Copper parts for the Solar Hot water systems manufactured by us, hence they usually last for about 15-20 years depends upon water quality. Some maintenance may required periodically to get maximum efficiency like electric back-up etc. may need replacement. We have some … Read More
What kind of maintenance is required?
Most domestic Solar Geysers don’t require a lot of maintenance, as there are no moving parts in the solar geyser. The only maintenance needed is cleaning of the glass once a month for best results. And if you live in a hard water area, the decaling process once every year … Read More
Can higher temperatures be obtained?
Yes. Much higher temperatures are possible with the Solar Geyser, though the use is restricted to the industrial sector. Inter Solar has designed many industrial systems with high temperatures such as 800C for provided boiler feed water. … Read More
Are temperatures similar to electronic geysers possible using Solar Geysers?
Electric geysers are usually set to 60 C, so you need to mix some cold water in geyser outlet water to make it suitable for bathing. It is almost the same with domestic solar water heating systems, the water temperature are generally about 60 C with an variation of about … Read More

What is DTC?
DTC means Differential Temperature Control. DTC is used to control the circulation pump in forced circulation system. … Read More
What is Thermosyphon System and what is forced flow (FF) System (TS)?
(a) When circulation of heated water from collector to the storage tank is by means of the density difference between hot and cold water , it is called thermosyphon (TS) system. In this system the storage tank storage tank must be placed above the collector.
(b) The water heated by … Read More
What is FTC?
FTC means Fixed Temperature Control. The operation of the circulation pump of forced flow system needs to be controlled to avoid pumping of cold water into the hot water storage tank. In FTC control, it is achieved by monitoring the temperature at the outlet of the collector. The pump is … Read More
What happens during the monsoon season when it is raining and there is less sunshine?
India receives a clear and good sunshine almost throughout the year as it is close to the tropics. Even during winter the Solar Geyser works extremely well as it has been especially designed for maximum efficiency during the winter season. However during the monsoon season, depending on the hours of … Read More
