Solar Water Heaters System Size Guide in Nairobi, Kenya

Finding the right solar water heater size for your home or business in Nairobi is crucial for energy efficiency and comfort. At Solar Water Heaters Supplies, we help you select the best capacity for your needs, ensuring you get the most out of your investment. Our range includes both flat plate and vacuum/heat pipe solar water heaters, available in pressurized and non-pressurized systems.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Solar Water Heater Capacity

Selecting the right solar water heater size involves understanding your household or business requirements. Here are the key factors to consider:

1. Household Size and Daily Hot Water Usage

The number of people in your home directly affects the hot water capacity needed. As a general guideline:

• For a household of 1-3 people, a 150-liter solar water heater is usually sufficient.
• For 4-6 people, consider a 200-250 liter system.
• For households with 7 or more people, a 300-350 liter solar water heater may be the best fit.

Businesses, such as hotels or health facilities, often need larger systems. Knowing the average daily hot water usage helps you decide the appropriate capacity to meet your requirements.

2. Type of Solar Water Heater

We offer both flat plate and vacuum/heat pipe solar water heaters. Each type has unique advantages:

• Flat Plate Solar Water Heaters are ideal for locations with abundant sunlight. They are efficient and cost-effective for general water heating needs.
• Vacuum/Heat Pipe Solar Water Heaters are more efficient in cold and cloudy conditions. They are suitable for year-round use, especially in areas that experience seasonal variations.

3. Pressurized vs. Non-Pressurized Systems

Another important factor is whether to choose a pressurized or non-pressurized system:

• Pressurized Solar Water Heaters provide consistent, high water pressure, ideal for showers and other uses requiring strong flow. They are commonly used in commercial settings and luxury residential properties.
• Non-Pressurized Solar Water Heaters are more economical and work well for basic water heating needs, suitable for most residential homes.

4. Type of Water Available

If you have salty, hard, or borehole water, you will benefit from our stainless steel solar water heaters. These are designed to resist corrosion, ensuring long-term durability even in challenging water conditions.
