Solar Pond - Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages and Disadvantages

  • The approach is particularly attractive for rural areas in developing countries. Very large area collectors can be set up for just the cost of the clay or plastic pond liner.
  • The evaporated surface water needs to be constantly replenished.
  • The accumulating salt crystals have to be removed and can be both a valuable by-product and a maintenance expense.
  • No need of a separate collector for this thermal storage system.

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:

    “For, the advantages which fashion values, are plants which thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets, namely. Out of this precinct, they go for nothing; are of no use in the farm, in the forest, in the market, in war, in the nuptial society, in the literary or scientific circle, at sea, in friendship, in the heaven of thought or virtue.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
