Solar hot water

Solar hot water is the cleanest, most environmentally-friendly option for homeowners. The process is fairly simple: thermal collectors (located on the roof of a home) absorb the sun’s rays and transfer the energy/heat to the point of usage via a fluid system.

For those who live in geographically-warm areas, solar hot water is the most economically-efficient option. A conventional heating system (that most of us have) uses an equivalent of 11 barrels of oil a year, which is about the same amount as a small, 4-door sedan.

Besides curbing CO2 emissions (the most prominent greenhouse gas), solar hot water saves owners 30-50% on their electric bills. In many areas, there are also government incentives to switch over to solar power.
