Solar Water Heating
A simple, but important first step towards big energy savings.
Did you know your home’s largest energy hog is the electric water heater especially if you don’t have air conditioning or a swimming pool? For families of four or more, installing a solar water heater can save you up to 40% on your electric bill(around $600) per year. That’s enough to buy 200 pairs of slippers!
Are You Ready For Solar Water Heating?
A solar water heating system harnesses the sun’s energy to heat water, so your water heater uses less electricity to do the same work.


Savings

If you installed a solar water heating system in your home, you could save up to 40% on your electric bill. With that savings, imagine what you could buy with that extra money, 15 bikinis, 800 lbs. of rice, or 750 malasadas.
