ABSTRACT:
A solar powered water heater including a housing within which are a water storage tank, reflective coated insulation and a solar panel. Pressurized water such as from a municipal water system is fed into the tank interior via a tank supply conduit. A reverse flow of pre-heated water from the tank to the solar panel occurs during passive heat siphoning. A solar panel supply conduit in communication with the first mentioned conduit has a lower flow capacity to assure water from the source being directed into the water tank for pre-heating prior to heat siphoning flow through the solar panel. A modified housing includes an adjustable window with a reflective layer for increased solar reflection toward the water tank.
