Solar heaters consist of a 1) thermal heat collector and an 2) Insulated tank (to retain hot water).
The basic principle is extremely simple. Sunlight falls on the heat collector which contains copper tubings thru which water flows. The water in tubes gets heated and goes into the tank as hot water, while cold water from inlet gets into the collector.
The process continues when sunlight falls and heats up the collector.
At night hot water stays hot in insulated tank.
This is the cheapest and easiest way to get hot water, and the efficiency is more than 70%.

Solar water heater converts sun light energy into heat energy and heats the water from low temperature to high temperature to meet the use of hot water in the life and production. Solar water heater can be divided into solar water heater of vacuum tube and solar water heater of flat plate type in accordance with structural style. Currently, solar water heater of vacuum tube dominates in the national market with a market share of 95%. Domestic solar water heater of vacuum tube composes of collector tube, storage water tank, holders and related accessories. The main function of collector tube is to convert solar energy into heat energy. It utilizes the theory that hot water rises and cold water sinks, making water produce microcirculation and reaching hot water needed.

It's very easy.
The Solar Water Heater System use the collecter--usually is with vacuum glass pipes---to collect the solar energy. And then transmit those heat enerfy to heat cold water to hot.
You could get the basic knowledge from our website--- www.ateliving.com. You could find some different collectors and systems.
If you need more info, you could contact me.

Most designs use the greenhouse effect which turns UV radiation from the sun into infrared radiation. The heat from the infrared radiation is transfered to the water by passing the water through a winding arrangement of black-colored metal tubes that circulate the water and absorb heat.

Solar water heating is conversion of sun light on renewable energy for water heating using the solar thermal collector.solar water heating systems are contains different technologies that are used worldwide increased.solar water heating system storage tank horizontally placed then immediately above the solar collector on roof.there is no pumping is required as well as hot water naturally in to the tanker through troposphere in the pump circulated to storage tank is ground.we can absorbed circulated pump water moves fluid between the tanker and collector

It easy, the solar water heater use vacuum tube to collect heat energy and heat the cold water insider the tube, after the water in the tube is heated, it will flow to the tank and the cold water in the tank will flow to the vacuum tube to be heated. if you want to find a good solar water heater brand, I suggest you to consider about Himin brand, this is a renowned brand in China. www.himinsun.com

in solar water heaters,huge reflectors are used to reflect sunlight on black painted water pipes.thse pipes are arranged in a box which is just like the solar cooker having a double glass sheet cover.the infrared rays present in the sunlight are absorbed by black painted pipes.the heated water is then supplied to th buildings by pipes.the arrangement of solar cooker can also be utilised to produce steam for generating electricity

like the radiator of a car ,the water runs trough tubes that are heated by the sun
warm water rises in to a tank and new warm water is added
one can make a cheap simple water heater by laying a black coiled hose pie on the roof which feeds in to a tank ,this water gets so hot you have to add cold water to have a shower
a black plastic water tank also heats the water if it stands in the sun .

When sunshine reaches the vacuum tubes, it is absorbed by the selective absorbing coating on the outer wall of inner tube and converted to heat energy, then water in the inner tube of vacuum tubes is heated, the density of water becomes small with water temperature increasing, and forms convection with cold water in the water tank, thus heating water in the water tank, meantime water tank can storage hot water due to the polyurethane insulation layer outside it.
