Experts advise: If a solar water heater is installed on the roof, during a thunderstorm, do not use a solar shower.
Summer thunderstorms frequently occur, and solar water heaters are most likely to be struck by lightning when installed on the roof of a residential building or on the roof. Zhou Yanqiang, president of the Hubei Solar Water Heater Industry Association, reminded consumers that rooftop solar water heaters must be installed with lightning protection equipment.
Recently, the reporter visited and found that solar water heaters are used by solar energy sources to provide hot water services. They are both convenient and clean, and can also be used for solar energy and electric energy. Therefore, they are used by many households. In order to better absorb sunlight, solar water heaters are generally installed on the roof of residential buildings. "The installation of solar water heaters on the roof, if it is installed unreasonably, may be thunder and lightning strikes, lightning accidents." According to Zhou Yanqiang, president of the Hubei Solar Water Heater Industry Association, according to national requirements, when installing solar water heaters, lightning protection equipment must be installed .
According to report, each year, the Hubei Solar Water Heater Industry Association has received many reports that solar water heaters have been struck by lightning. Although it did not cause any casualties, it also caused damage to household electrical appliances. Solar water heaters are generally installed on rooftops, which are generally higher than buildings. If lightning protection equipment is not installed on the roof, the metal components may be attacked by lightning. Not only can it cause damage to electrical appliances such as water heaters, it can also cause explosions, and it can lead to casualties.
President Zhou introduced that when installing a solar water heater, lightning protection devices such as lightning rods above the water heater should be installed at the same time. At the same time, power lines, water pipes and other equipment for solar water heaters introduced into the room from the roof should also be protected. At the same time, President Zhou also reminded: When the thunderstorm, we must not rush to solar shower. Many people have just returned from their homes in the rain. They will rush to shower and change clothes. But this time you have to be careful. President Zhou analyzed that because some residents’ home water heaters used lightning rods or lightning rods to avoid lightning rods, the metal frame of the water heaters was not protected from lightning grounding. Once the grounding wire for lightning protection was connected to the water pipes, the building was hit by a lightning strike. Currents can cause human casualties through water flow.
