Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW)Solar Domestic Hot Water Heating

30% OF YOUR HOME ENERGY BUDGET GOES TO HEAT HOT WATER

In most households that means that almost half of your electric bill or up to 45% of your oil or gas bill goes to heat your domestic hot water. A solar domestic hot water heating system can reduce your costs for heating that hot water by up to 70%.

Most systems require only two or three roof mounted solar collector panels and an 80 or 120 gallon storage tank located near your present water heating equipment, usually in the basement of your home.

Your present water heating system is retained as a backup in the event of sustained cloudy weather. The solar energy system is maintenance free, fully automatic and noiseless. The only time you know it's there is when you get your reduced fuel or utility bill each month.

See our incentives page for more information on state and federal rebates available for solar water heating.
