In a
split system solar
collectors and water
tanks are separate.
Collectors are
usually mounted on a
roof while the tank
is inside the
building. They look
aesthetically sound
since the solar
collectors are flush
on the roof. It is
also possible to
retrofit solar
collectors by
connecting them to
an existing electric
geyser. However one
needs a qualified
fitter to do this.
It is also possible
to install multiple
collectors and
connect to one big
tank (for big
projects).
