Solar Water Heater Installation & Replacement

Solar Power: the green way to heat water

Despite the fact that the first solar panels appeared in 1873, and the first solar powered water heater in 1891, we still view it as a newer form of energy. Solar power has its limitations, meaning that the spread of the technology has been fairly slow when compared with other energy sources, such as electricity, gas, and oil. Only now in the twenty-first century is solar power really beginning to pick up speed.

Benefits of solar powered water heaters

Since its emergence onto the market it’s gone through many changes to become the modern product that it is today. Through these changes, it has become more energy-efficient and beneficial than ever before. There are many obvious benefits to a solar powered water heater. The most obvious benefit being that the energy you consume is free, therefore there’s no monthly bill attached to heating the water, lowering overall energy bills. However, there are many more benefits, such as:

• Excellent energy efficiency. Around 80% of the suns radiation is turned to heat energy and used to warm water.
• Lower the use of fossil fuels, meaning it’s a good investment for mother nature as well!
• Both residential and commercial properties are entitled to claim Renewable Energy Incentives on their taxes.
• More energy-efficient models available today that allow for fewer panels to be installed on the roof.
