Going Solar.

Solar Water Heaters have always been the first step when “going solar” due to low cost and high power density. The weight of conventional collectors made the installation very difficult and expensive until the advent of new light weight, affordable collectors. All the new efficiently designed solar thermal systems will save you money on energy no matter what energy source (gas, electricity, propane, oil, etc.) you currently use to heat your water.

Understanding the difference between solar thermal energy and solar electric energy is very important.

Solar Electric is more commonly referred to as Photovoltaic (PV), in which energy from the sun is converted to electric power.

Solar Thermal energy, however, simply uses energy from the sun to heat water.

Both PV and Solar Thermal technologies can be used together or separately. While PV is used to power the electric needs of an entire home or building, Solar Thermal is an excellent choice for solar water heating

The revolutionary light weight, attractive design of the newest Solar Water Heaters makes solar water heating truly practical for everyone. The 30% Federal Tax Credit and fast rising fuel costs make now a good time to install a solar water heating system! Domestic solar water heaters are a cost effective way to generate hot water for your home. Appropriate in any climate, the fuel these systems use is FREE from the sun!

On average, water heaters use as much energy as a medium-sized car uses in a year. Each installed solar water heater is comparable to increasing the fuel mileage on the family car by over 60%. Supplementing millions of existing water heaters with solar thermal water heaters frees up huge amounts of limited energy resources that America can then use in other ways.
