BK Labs, provides a holistic approach to power consumption, presenting
solutions to produce efficient renewable energy, and remedies for conservation.
Solar
Water Heating
A solar water heater is extremely simple. Solar water heaters, sometimes called solar domestic hot water systems are cost competitive in many applications when you account for the total energy costs over the life of the system. Plus, they are environmentally friendly. These systems use the sun to heat water in collectors generally mounted on a roof. The heated water is then stored in a tank similar to a conventional gas or electric water tank. Some systems use an electric pump to circulate the fluid through the collectors.
Long-Term Benefits
Solar
water heaters offer long-term benefits that go beyond simple economics. In addition to having free hot water after the system has
paid for itself in reduced utility bills, you will be cushioned from future fuel
shortages and price increases. You
will also be doing your part to reduce this country's dependence on foreign oil.
The National Remodelers Association reports that adding a solar water
heater to an existing home raises the resale value of the home by the entire
cost of the system. You may be able
to recoup your entire investment when you sell your home.
Environmental Benefits
Solar water heaters do not pollute.
By investing in one, you will be avoiding carbon dioxide, nitrogen
oxides, sulfur dioxide, and the other air pollution and wastes created when your
utility generates power or you burn fuel to heat your household water.
When a solar water heater replaces an electric water heater, the
electricity displaced over 20 years represents more than 50 tons of avoided
carbon dioxide emissions alone. Carbon
dioxide traps heat in the upper atmosphere, thus contributing to the
"greenhouse effect."
