This page provides basic information on the components and types of solar water heaters currently available and the economic and environmental benefits of owning a system. This could be helpful in selecting a system for your home or industry.
Solar water heaters are cost competitive in many applications when you account for the total energy costs over the life of the system. Although the initial cost of solar water heaters is higher than that of conventional water heaters, the fuel (sunshine) is free. Plus, they are environmentally friendly. To take advantage of these heaters, you must have an unshaded, south-facing location (a roof, for example) on your property.
