Their solar thermal collectors are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or walls or nearby, and the potable hot water storage tank is typically a pre-existing or new conventional water heater, or a water heater specifically designed for solar thermal.

5. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

   The storage of water at high temperature removes one possible breeding ground for Legionella; the use of a thermostat, rather than a static mixing valve, provides increased safety against scalding, and increased user comfort, because the hot-water temperature remains constant. [1] Many TMVs use a wax thermostat for regulation. They also shut ...

6. Layered charge storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layered_charge_storage

   Layered or stratified charge storage is hot water storage tank, typically for solar thermal energy. The warmest storage layer is the top storage cylinder and below this there are colder storage layers through natural layering. The water is fed into different storage levels, depending on the available feed temperature and current temperature ...
