Solar Water Heater
A solar water heater can be an energy efficient way to
heat all the water in your home. They are easy to build and install
and are capable of saving the average homeowner money on their energy
expenses. In addition, they are a great way to reduce our dependence
on foreign energy sources.
A solar water heater operates by pumping water through a long tube that
winds through a series of solar panels. As the water travels through
the tube, it is heated naturally by the sun. This water can then be
stored in a water tank for future use.
Using a solar water heater can save you as much as 30% on your energy
bills. Many federal and state agencies offer tax incentives and rebates
to homeowners who make the switch to solar energy. As technology improves,
these systems are sure to become even more efficient.
