Why is the "solar energy", which was once very popular in rural areas "precooled" now? Rural people don't like to use it. why

As a rural person, when I was a child, I took a bath with a "sun" hot water bottle at home and saw that some families with good conditions had installed solar water heaters.

This "bathing artifact" can "burn" the water without plugging in, which has won unanimous praise from the villagers. Later, with more and more favorable comments, my family also installed a solar water heater.

Solar water heaters not only save electricity and money, but also are very convenient. It only needs to send water to the solar energy for a day and a half, and the water will be hot. Basically, it can be used for a family to take a bath.

Moreover, the service life of solar water heaters is very long, basically around 10 years. If it is well maintained, it can even be used for 15 years.

Many villagers thought it would be cost-effective to install it once every few years, so they kept installing it.

But now, as I grow up, I find that there are a lot fewer solar water heaters in the village, some families are idle, and some families even tear them down directly.

Why is the once hot solar water heater "disappearing" now? Is it really banned, or what?

Solar water heaters were abandoned for a reason. Let's see:

The weather has a great influence and heating in winter is troublesome.

In summer, solar water heaters are basically exposed to the sun for half a day, and the water inside is hot.

But after summer, when the weather is cold, solar water heaters are not so "smart".

Especially in winter, there is insufficient light in many areas, and the water temperature can't meet people's requirements.

Especially in the northern region, solar water heaters are not used for several months in a year. If you want to take a bath, you should still use an electric water heater or go to the bathhouse. Many people see the disadvantages of solar energy and simply switch to electric water heaters.

Easy to damage and high maintenance cost.

Solar water heaters are generally installed on the roof or platform, so their hot water pipes are generally long and exposed to the outside, which is easy to be damaged after long-term wind and sun exposure.

In winter in the north, the outdoor temperature is very low. If you don't pay attention to protection, the exposed water pipe will freeze and crack if there is water in it.

So usually in winter, people will release the water from the solar water pipe, because once the water pipe is frozen and cracked, there is a charge for replacing it.

Moreover, domestic solar water heaters are generally tap water or well water. In this case, the vacuum tube is very easy to produce scale, because it is not easy to clean, so it can only be replaced. It costs tens or hundreds of dollars to change another one, which is another expense.

Because solar water heaters are generally placed on the roof, maintenance is a technical activity, which can only be maintained by professionals, and labor costs are also a big expense.

Waste of water resources, cold and hot are difficult to adjust.

Although solar water heaters do not consume natural gas or electricity, they are relatively clean and environmentally friendly.

But people also found a great disadvantage in the process of using it.

Because the solar water heater is installed on the roof, there is a certain distance from the room, so it takes a long time to put cold water into the bathtub before putting hot water, which is actually a waste of water.

In addition, it is difficult to grasp the hot and cold of solar water heaters, and the adjustment is either too cold or too hot. This adjustment process also wastes a lot of water resources invisibly.

The living environment in rural areas has improved, and the floors are generally higher, which is troublesome to install.

In the past, rural areas basically lived in bungalows. Now, with the demolition and transformation, many rural areas have also lived in small buildings.

Some buildings do not have the installation conditions, and even if they do, people are reluctant to spend money to install solar water heaters because of the installation trouble. Second, they choose more convenient alternatives.

Substitutes have more advantages

Solar water heaters will not be banned. After all, it belongs to clean energy, and the state still supports it.

It's just that the conditions of ordinary families are much better than before, and they are no longer keen on installing solar water heaters that don't cost electricity.

Instead, we focused on more convenient electric water heaters and gas water heaters.

With the technology of electric water heaters and gas water heaters becoming more and more mature, the prices are becoming more and more close to the people. With better substitutes, farmers are willing to spend more money.

Therefore, families who installed new water heaters left solar water heaters idle, and some families directly dismantled them.

What are the potential safety hazards of current water heaters?

At present, gas water heaters and electric water heaters are widely used in the market. These two kinds of water heaters are convenient to use, but there are also some security risks.

As before, the news reported the leakage of gas water heater, carbon monoxide poisoning of gas water heater and so on.

So when using these two kinds of water heaters, we should also pay attention to:

Purchase through regular manufacturers

Find a professional to install it.

The service time should not exceed the service life.

Don't install the water heater directly in the bathroom.

In-line water heaters have been banned, so don't continue to use them for cheap.
