Active Open Loop Solar Water Heating System

10 years ago

My solar contractor installed our Active Open Loop Solar water system without any check valves in the lines that go to the collector panels. I've heard about thermosiphoning. My question is, how much loss would occur? If anyone has some experiences or personal information on this effect, please share. I'm in Hawaii and the night time temps are around high 70's. Would this be negligible loss for use so maybe thats why it wasn't installed?


Thanks.
