Up to 30% of a home’s energy consumption is used just to heat water for bathing, laundry, and cleaning. By installing a solar hot water system, you can reduce the amount of your electric bill, thereby saving money and reducing pollution at the same time.
Installing a solar hot water system is typically the first and most cost-effective step when turning to the sun for energy. Even if a photo-voltaic system is your primary interest, a solar (thermal) hot water system along with a PV system will provide the best economics and space efficiency on your roof.
