The Benefits of a Solar Hot Water Heater
The energy coming from the sun cost nothing. Zip. Zero dollars and zero cents. Most solar energy systems do require some electrical power to run, but otherwise they are about as cost–free as you’ll find for an appliance. A solar water heater is a good way to start exploring the possibilities of using solar energy because it’s a smaller installation than many other types of solar power systems, using only a small amount of space on the roof for the photovoltaic (PV) panels. It also serves a useful function (every home needs hot water around the year) and can save large amounts of energy. In fact, a water heater can account for 40% of home’s energy use, so this is a great place to save using solar power.
Finding the Right Type of Solar Water Heater
There are two basic solar water heater designs, active and passive. An active water heater uses a circulatory pump to move water from the solar collector on the roof, where it is heated, down into the water storage tank. A passive water heater doesn’t use a pump, but instead circulates water through the natural rise and fall of water as it heats up and cools down. A passive water heater uses less energy than an active one, but it can also be less effective. You can depend on our skilled solar water heater professionals to find which type and size of system will work for your house and deliver the amount of hot water necessary for your household.
