Savings from Solar Water Heater Systems

Hot water can be gotten free from solar energy, and it does not have to be too technical nor does it have to be expensive. The technology is very simple and it can save you a lot of money in the long run.

Solar power depends on heat from the sun. To harness solar energy, solar panels are installed on the roof of your home. These catch the sun’s rays and the heat is transferred to pipes filled with water. The hot water circulates and is stored in a container ready to be used at your convenience. This can be used for home heating, as well as for use when you shower. Except for the initial installation, there is practically no operating costs in getting your hot water. The sun takes care of that. In addition, this is an environmentally friendly way of heating. It also has zero emissions.

Depending on where you live, you can save from 50% to 90% of your water heating bill. That translates to 50% to 90% energy consumed to produce heat for your hot water.

Save Money. Heating water costs money. This is due to the cost of fuel used to heat the water. Fuel is a non-renewable resource which is expected to become scarcer and more expensive in the future. This means that if you install your solar water heater now, you would save a lot more in the future.

Help Save the Environment. Solar energy is emissions free, and uses no fossil fuel. Fossil fuel creates hydrocarbon by-products when it is burned. The solar water heater does not make use of any fossil fuel. It is energy straight from the sun. Hot water from the solar heater does not produce hydrocarbons; there is no carbon emission. This simple equation helps the environment because it lessens the dependence on oil, which is a non-renewable resource.

Besides the above benefits, there are usually concerns about the cost of installing the solar water heater. Considering that it solar energy is free, here are the ways it can pay for itself:
