The main advantages of this system are:

Passive solar water heaters have a combined storage tank and collector elements. The storage tanks are insulated to prevent heat loss. The volume of the storage tank is calculated based on two days of hot water consumption.
Passive systems move the finished water or coolant through the system without pumps. Passive systems have the advantage that a power outage or a breakdown of the circulation pump will not be a problem. This makes passive systems generally more reliable, easier to maintain, and possibly longer lasting than active systems.
Low price,
Easy to install and maintain. (For it to work, it is enough for japan mobile database to be water in the tank. Water can be supplied by gravity from an open tank located above the water heater itself).
This type of installation does NOT require electricity to operate. Electricity may only be needed if an additional electric heater (TEN) is installed in the tank.
Passive systems have the advantage that a power outage or a broken circulation pump will not be a problem. This makes passive systems generally more reliable, easier to maintain, and possibly longer lasting than active systems.
These heating systems are particularly suitable for use in the central zone for summer cottages from March to October.
Technical features
To obtain maximum energy from the sun, collectors are directed "facing" the south or with a deviation of up to 30 °C from the southern direction and an inclination between the horizon and the collector of 30-55 ° depending on the latitude.
