Why Solar Water Heater

• Solar water heaters can act as a backup source of heat for your home. Since about 20% of a typical home's energy budget goes towards heating water, this is not an insignificant amount. In addition, if you use your solar water heater to act as a backup for general heating requirements in your home, then your savings may be even greater.
  
  
• On average, if you install a solar water heater, your water heating bills should drop 50%–80%. Also, because the sun is free, you're protected from future fuel shortages and price hikes.
  
  
• If you're building a new home or refinancing, or replacing water heater, the economics are even better. You’ll be profitable immediately, and you're saving more than you're paying on a monthly basis.
  
  
• More than 1.5 million homes and businesses in the US have invested in solar water heating systems, and over 94% of them say it is a good investment!

  • Save 2 tons CO2/year (save the earth!)
