Solar Water Heating is the Best Investment in Solar Energy

One of the most efficient and affordable ways to put renewable energy technology into a building or home is by installing solar water heating. Solar water heating is clean and uses no fossil fuels (which may contribute to air pollution, acid rain, ozone depletion or global warming).

For Homeowners:

Hot water represents the second largest energy consumer in American households. A typical 80 gallon electric hot water tank serving a family of four will consume approximately 150 million BTUs in its seven year lifetime. This will cost approximately $3,600 (at $0.08 per KWH), not accounting for fuel cost increases.*

The average cost for a solar water heating system is $7000 but with the federal tax and state tax credits your final system cost is cut in half.

For Businesses:

Heating water is often one of the biggest expenses of operating a facility. Using solar water heating systems provides economical savings. Generous government incentives, including state and federal tax credits for businesses, make it an opportune time to invest in solar thermal technology.
