Advantages of a Solar Water Heater

Solar water heating (SWH) or solar hot water (SHW) systems comprise several innovations and many mature renewable energy technologies that have been well established for many years. Solar hot water heaters use the sun to heat either water or a heat-transfer fluid in collectors. There are passive systems and active systems. A typical system will reduce the need for conventional water heating by about two-thirds. High-temperature solar water heaters can provide energy-efficient hot water and hot water heat for large commercial and industrial facilities. Here are some advantages Solar water heating installation.

Energy:
You make significant savings on energy as electricity consumption is being avoided. You save anywhere between 50% to 90% on your electricity bill. Which translates into that much less energy that needs to be produced.

Water heating costs:
An average home can save big money from its electricity bills every year, especially at the rate that energy costs are skyrocketing across the globe. This results in major savings in the family budget.

Environment:
Harnessing the suns energy is surely a way to ahead for good, clean and free energy. A family of 4 that uses a solar water heater can save up to 3 or 4 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions when compared with a conventional electric heater. That is equivalent to taking one small car off the road. Can you imagine the huge impact it has on the environment as well as on our future generations?

Pay for itself:
Your solar water eventually pays for itself in the long run when you add up the savings on your energy bills.

Government rebates:
Many governmental rebates, subsidies and incentives are available. Check with your local bodies before your purchase your solar water heater. This can give you a huge saving in your initial investment. Make sure your required documentation is all ready to be able to avail of these facilities.

Lasts longer:

Yet another advantage of this solar water heater is that it lasts longer than your conventional electric water heater. So it looks like that you’ll be enjoying free, clean and luxuriously hot water for a really long time and long after your neighbours have replaced the heaters.
