Solar water heating systems offer many benefits.
Save money on your hot water bills
Just like a solar PV system, installing solar hot water will help you save money on your energy bills. Whether you currently heat your water with electricity, gas or other fuels, a solar hot water system will provide a certain amount of free hot water each day and these savings will accrue over time. Solar hot water will vary depending on the technology you currently use to heat water for your property, your payback period or the time it takes to recoup your initial investment.
Little or no maintenance
Once a solar hot water system has been installed, you don't need to worry about maintenance. As a safety precaution, it's a good idea to change the circulating antifreeze and have your contractor check your system every few years, but generally speaking, proactive maintenance requirements are minimal. What's more, a well-maintained solar hot water installation can last for more than 20 years while producing free hot water from the sun.
Environmentally friendly heating options
Whenever you heat water using fossil fuels such as natural gas, greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. Even technology powered by electricity can cause pollution - if you use electricity from the grid to power your home's hot water system, the electricity is likely to come from fossil fuels. With a solar hot water system, you can be 100% sure that you are using a zero-emission renewable source for your hot water needs.
