Operational Basics of a Solar Thermosyphon System:
Through the process of natural convection, hot water rises and cold water sinks. This principle is the basis of explaining the operation of a Thermosyphon System. Cold water sinks from the storage tank at the top of the unit into the evacuated tubes. In the tubes, that cold water is heated, rising back up into the storage tank as it icreases in temperature. Throughout the day, all of the cold water within the Thermpsyphon System will be heated in this way.

Silicon Solar offers a number of seminars throughout the year to assist homeowners, small business owners, and renewable energy dealers and installers in learning basic and advanced concepts and techniques for Solar Electric (PV) Systems, Solar Thermal (Hot Water and Hot Air) Systems and Wind Energy Systems.
These seminars and workshops are designed to help newcomers to the renewable energy field get a basic or advanced understanding of the different renewable energy options that are available and how these different systems can be applied at home or around the office to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year in energy costs. These seminars also help renewable energy dealers and installers stay up to date on the latest renewable energy equipment, news, industry trends and sales techniques.
Silicon Solar Seminars are great for anyone interested in renewable energy, regardless of their knowledge level going in to the workshop. Even those who have only heard the words solar energy, wind energy, or solar hot water will leave our seminars with an understanding of how renewable energy will help them save money, how these same systems can help save the environment, and what renewable energy options are available and affordable on any budget.
