Solar & Eco-Friendly Energy
Harness the Power of the Sun
Solar power is now a viable option for heating and powering your home. Although the technology has been around for ages, it has never quite caught on in the US. Yet today, with our society's push for a greener future, it is making a comeback in mainstream society. Solar energy can now be found to help power your car, home, and business. It has become a particularly popular option for heating hot water in your home.
Solar thermal hot water systems harness the power of the sun to heat your home's water. Thermal panels are installed on your rooftop to collect the heat from the sun. The heat is then used to warm a liquid that circulates through the pipes connecting the panels and the water heater.
While the initial set-up cost is more than for a traditional hot water heating system, the benefits are plentiful. Solar thermal systems can offset gas consumption, reduce your energy bill, and drastically cut carbon dioxide emissions. You'll be both helping the environment...and your wallet. Households that opt to install a solar thermal hot water heater are also eligible for tax credits of 30% of the installation cost (labor and materials).
