Solar water heating is a cost effective renewable energy solution designed to make efficient use of the sun’s energy.
In a year, the average 80 gallon electric hot water heater costs around $650 to run, and contributes about 6,600 pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere. Natural gas water heaters cost about $450 to run and contribute about 3,900 pounds of CO2.
Solar water heater systems do not generate any actual electricity.
Instead, they replace electricity, oil, or natural gas- using a solution that is heated by the ambient heat of the sun- to provide water heating.

Solar water heater systems generally reduce the cost of heating water by 70-80%.
Considering the average home spends about a quarter of its yearly energy usage to heat its water, these systems represent both a substantial reduction in expenditure (about 20% of yearly utility costs), as well as carbon emissions.
