WHY SOLAR HOT WATER?

Hot water heaters use a lot of energy, gas and electric are not getting cheaper and never will. The sun is a constant and Minnesota is a very good location for sunlight hours and dependable service.

Solar thermal systems applications vary widely from in-floor heating, radiant heating, cleaning systems or just standard showers and laundry can benefit. Solar hot water is the most cost-effective solar technology on the market.

Taking advantage of solar energy is one way that consumers can save considerable amounts of energy. Heating water is the second largest energy consumer in American households. A typical 80 gallon (300 l) electric hot water tank serving a family of four will consume approximately 150 million BTUs in its seven year lifetime. This will cost approximately $3,600 (at $0.08 per KWH) and does not account for fuel cost increases.

An investment in a solar water heating system will beat the stock market any day, any decade, risk free. Initial return on investment is on the order of 15 percent, tax-free, and goes up as gas and electricity prices climb. With federal tax incentives and a base of qualified installers it's easy to get into this technology.

Solar panels can be placed on your roof-top, garage roof, yard or any other area with a clear view of the southern sky. A Hi-Tech professional can come to your site and asses the benefits of a system for you.
