Solar water heating gives you and your family more hot water and also hotter water, while at the same time erasing electricity costs. An average family of four spends approximately $1000 a year to heat water for showers, dishwashers and laundry machines. Imagine what else you could do with that money!

Think about it this way: If someone offered you a refrigerator that kept food colder, used no electricity, and qualified you for tax rebates and credits, you’d probably buy it! Of course, there is no such refrigerator. There IS solar hot water heating, that works better, heats with free energy, and qualifies for tax savings.
The financial facts: Providing hot water for the average home uses three times the amount of energy as running a frig and other appliances; it eats up more than 30% of annual energy costs. By comparison, running your refrigerator and all other major appliances only requires 10% of what you spend annually on utilities.
The performance superiority of solar water heating: If you have ever run out of hot water after two people in your home have showered; if you have ever postponed a shower because the dishwasher needs to run; if you consider that an average electric water heater only holds about 20 minutes worth of water – then you will immediately see the top three performance benefits of solar water heating.
- The system is designed to hold 24 hours worth of hot water. It has to, because the sun goes down. The chances are slim that you will run out when machines and man are using hot water at the same time.
- When the power goes out during one of our Florida storms, you still have hot water. Solar panels heat water hotter than the top electric setting. Yet there is a valve engineered to protect you against scalding.
The environmental superiority of solar water heating: In an average year in Florida you can save the equivalent of 11.4 barrels of oil – that is more than the average car, according to independent engineers at the University of Wisconsin.
- Plus it reduces your carbon footprint by more than 10,000 pounds annually
- Also it produces no air or water pollution
- And it contributes to reducing dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels
The financial benefits don’t end with utility savings:
Tax savings: Upgrading to solar water heating qualifies you for a 30% federal tax credit (not a deduction)
Tax rebates: The state of Florida is offering a $500 rebate
Energy rebates: Many utility companies are also offering rebates
No sales tax: Your purchase is exempt from Florida sales tax
No rate increases: You are protected from never ending utility rate increases
- It is estimated that solar water heating pays for itself in utility savings in an average of only 6 years. They will last as long as conventional systems. It means that after the payback years, you get free hot water for years!
The solar panels are installed on the roof, out of the way and in the best possible location to take advantage of the Florida sun. The panels soaking up solar energy can reduce the temperature on your roof, which means a reduction in the heat that passes through to the interior of your home. That means your air conditioner has less of a load in the hottest weather.
