what size storage tank is needed for a house with three person
Storage Volume. A small (50- to 60-gallon) storage tank is usually sufficient for one to two three people. A medium (80-gallon) storage tank works well for three to four people. A large tank is appropriate for four to six people. For active systems, the size of the solar storage tank increases with the size of the collector -- typically 1.5 gallons per square foot of collector.
