Why Solar Energy for Hot Water

Some compelling reasons.

Solar Heating is Affordable

Using the sun's free energy to heat water helps lower your home energy bills. Water heating is the second highest energy cost in a typical household. A solar system may cut hot water fuel bills by two-thirds or more. Depending on how much hot water you use, and your current water heating fuel, these savings can be hundreds of dollars a year. If you have a swimming pool, solar is the most economical way to heat your pool and extend your swimming season. A solar pool heating system can pay for itself in four years or less.

Solar Water is Reliable

You will always have hot water even if the sun is not shining. A solar system uses your conventional water heating system as a backup. You can use solar hot water whether you use electricity, gas, or another fuel to heat your water now.

Solar Hot Water is Green

Solar energy is clean, renewable, and good for the environment. By heating your water with the sun, you help preserve our natural resources and reduce your household's emissions of the pollutants responsible for global warming and acid rain.

More Hot Water

Because they can use two hot water tanks, solar hot water systems can increase your household's supply of hot water, providing you with more comfort and longer hot showers.
