The invention discloses an automatic-
defrosting type
solar water heater used in a region with low
sunlight intensity. The automatic-
defrosting type
solar water heater comprises a heat concentration
pipe, a water tank, a water outlet
pipe and a power supply, wherein an
electric heating wire is spirally wound on the outer circumference of the water outlet
pipe outside a water outlet of the water tank, wherein the
electric heating wire is connected with a storage battery; a temperature sensor for controlling the
electric heating wire to work is also arranged on the water outlet pipe; and a heat
insulation layer covers outside the electric heating wire. After the automatic-
defrosting type
solar water heater is adopted, when the weather temperature is lower than zero DEG C, the temperature sensor is switched on to form a loop, the electric heating wire works; and when the temperature rises to 4 DEG C, the temperature sensor is disconnected from the loop, the electric heating wire stops working, and therefore the solar
water heater can also work normally even in
frost weather at southwest regions in China without blocking phenomenon caused by frosting. The automatic-defrosting type solar
water heater disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, easiness in installation and working stability and reliability.
