Maryland solar panel installations are becoming more mainstream. Home owners are upgrading to solar powered water heaters to meet water heating needs and installing solar pv (photovoltaic) systems to provide electricity for their homes.
With the large tax incentives in place, now is a great time to consider a solar panel installation on your Maryland home. While AtisSun installs solar water heaters in Maryland we have a number of trustworthy solar pv installation companies in Maryland who we can recommend. Just let me know!
How Many Maryland Solar Water Heaters?
July 19th, 2009
The AtisSun team is putting together a map showing how many Maryland homes are using solar water heaters. You may be surprised by the number of people in Maryland using solar energy to heat their household water. These numbers are very encouraging and Maryland solar water heater installations are increasing on a daily basis.
Whether your solar water heater is 25 years old or AtisSun (or someone else) recently installed a new solar water heater…if you live in Maryland your help with this project will be greatly appreciated. Simply send me an e-mail with your home’s location or leave a comment below. You do not need to include you address. Just your town and county so we can add your home to the map.
If you are using a solar water heater you are part of a special group of people in Maryland helping to create a better tomorrow for us all.

Over the next several weeks we will be performing updates and adding much more solar water heating information to the “Maryland Solar Water Heating Blog.”
The goal of the Maryland Solar Water Heating Blog is to help Maryland homeowners gain more energy independence with the help of solar water heating. We are hear to help answer questions any you may have.
Maryland Solar Water Heaters- Flat Plate Collectors
June 16th, 2009
Here is a very simple overview of how flat plate solar collectors work. If you have other questions just leave a comment below.
These days most flat plat collectors have a very sleek, low profile design that looks like skylights when installed on your roof. Most Maryland solar installations require 2 or 3 of these flat plate collectors.
Flat plat collectors are basically a box lined with an absorber plate and copper tubing. The copper tubing usually runs in a parallel pattern as you can see in the picture (see flow tube).
When the sun shines on the solar collector it uses the solar energy to heat a special fluid inside the copper tubing. Once heated this fluid is transferred to your hot water storage tank and heats your household water.
