If using your hot water is starting to put a dent in your wallet, it may be time to consider a solar hot water heater. On the rise, there are already choices in picking the right solar water heating systems for you, and the benefits are undeniably good for your home, wallet, and the environment. So what are you waiting for? Let’s learn some more.
Systems
There are two types of solar water heating systems- passive and active. As you can probably guess, a passive system involves no moving parts. Thermosyphon passive heaters uses a continual convection process to heat water, where hot water rises and cold water sinks to the bottom of the tank. Active systems, on the other hand, utilize pumps to move water from the collector to the water tank.
Benefits
The benefits to using a solar water heater are
practically endless. First of all, by using solar heating systems, we can
greatly decrease our carbon footprint, an issue that has become impossible to
ignore over the past few years. According to APS, if just 10% of homes in Arizona installed
solar water heaters it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the equivalent
of taking 57,000 cars off the road.
Another
advantage to making the switch to a solar water heater is that it’s readily available
to anyone who can have it installed. Even if we didn’t live in sunny Arizona,
there are different systems designed for people who live in different types of
climates.
We can’t talk benefits of solar water heaters
without mentioning the savings you’ll experience. A solar hot water heater
system installed on your Arizona home can save you 20-50% every month on your
water bill.
Now that you know how much money a solar hot water
heating system will save you, you’re probably wondering exactly how much it’s
going to COST you.
Here’s an interesting fact that you probably didn’t
know: thanks to tax credits and federal state rebates in the state of Arizona,
most homeowners will pay very little, if anything at all, to have a solar water
system heat their home.
