Solar Power Hot Water

Many people aren't aware that their hot water systems are one of the biggest household electrical expenses. Some of these hot water systems work continuously to keep the water at a set temperature but in doing this they are constantly chewing into your electricity bill. Some of these older type hot water systems can nearly triple your power bill each quarter.

Then we get the next generation of hot water systems like Rheem and Solarhart and these are 'off-peak' systems that half your power bill each quarter. Until you have installed one you don't realise just what a saving these represent. It's not until you move into a leased unit where the only hot water system is an older one that you seriously start to appreciate just what a saving those off-peak systems actually were. Not only were they an immediate saving to your power bill but many electricity suppliers also discounted your bill because you had installed an off peak hot water system.

Now though you can install a solar power hot water system that costs you virtually nothing after the initial outlay for the solar panels. But these don't have to be expensive either any more because if you have a handyman ability you can now make these in your back shed for less than $200 per panel. Using this solar energy represents a huge saving to the family budget and to your community and the planet.

There's no doubt about the savings that can be otherwise used if we fully use something like the sun that is given to us freely most days of the year. Solar powered hot water systems are definitely the future and the sooner we all have them installed on our homes the more money we will all save.
