Heating the water in your house accounts for about 11% of your annual energy costs. The sun generates more power in a day than all of the fossil fuels on earth, so let it heat up the water you use every day. Save up to 70% on your hot water bill by channeling water from the rooftop panels to your existing water tank. You may be surprised at how small the panel is and how much hot water is generated even on overcast winter days. Worry-free systems have no maintenance and last decades, so savings extend well beyond ten years.
The ROI Calculation is based on current hot water for showers, dishwashing, and laundry costs at about $110 a year per person (With natural gas costs at $1.15/gallon and electricity costs at 7 cents/kilowatt hour). The annual utility cost for a four person household is typically over $400. Per the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) Tax Credits will equal 30% of qualifying expenditures for purchase for qualified photovoltaic property and for solar water heating property used exclusively for purposes other than heating swimming pools and hot tubs. The credit shall not exceed $2000.
