What is Insulated storage tank and why they need to be insulated?
All Solar water-heating systems need a storage tank to store the cold water that is to be supplied to the collector and to store the hot water that comes from the collector. Since the natural law says that any hot substance tends to radiate heat to its surroundings to get back to its lowest energy state, it is obvious that the hot water in the storage tank also radiates heat, thus to prevent this radiation and cooling of water, the storage tank is insulated with Rock wool or puff wool and Aluminum cladding or stainless steel.
