Solar energy is becoming more and more capable as technology continues to advance. Everyone wants to eventually switch to renewable energy sources in order to not only help the environment, but to reduce energy costs! Solar energy panels have truly paved a path for renewable energy devices. Many people use these solar energy panels to power their homes with electricity. We at Net0 Energy specialize in supplying and installing all of your solar energy platforms you could want. However, if you are trying to upgrade to even more solar savings, then check out installing a solar water heating system!
What is a Solar Water Heating System?
A solar water heating system is truly a wonder to have. These devices consist of solar collectors that gather all of the sunlight they possibly can. Next, those solar collectors transfer the heat to heat transfer fluid. This fluid will then be collected and stored. Once you wish to use hot water, the heat exchangers will then transmit the heat from the fluid to your home’s water. The only other components are going to be the pumps that move the fluid between the collectors and exchangers. As well as, a controller for the pumps when applicable.
Why Switch to Solar Water Heating?
We at Net0 Energy truly cannot stress enough how beneficial switching to solar and/or renewable energy is for you; Here are some reasons why:
Energy Independence. Using solar can reduce your dependence upon the utility. As long as the sun is shining, you’ve got energy. Many folks with solar hot water only need to use the utility for backup, and sometimes not even that.
Environmental Impact. It is a fact that most of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels. This leads to a wide array of environmental problems. With the slight exception of having to manufacture the equipment needed to capture the sun’s heat, there is no environmental impact from making solar energy at our homes.
Financial Benefits. Solar-electric, as popular as it is, does not have as high an energy and cash savings per amount spent as does solar water heating. It is easy to see 50% to 100% savings on your bill, helping systems to recoup the original investment in 5 years, and as little as 3 years.
