We been hearing it more and more...its almost the new thing to talk about... Well, let's go have solar then. But wait, what do i do, what do i buy and why?
Lets talk about solar water heating. It might just be the the most overlooked of all the solar possibilities that we have on the market today. Partly because we, the users, think that our gas water heater (if you lucky enough to have gas) is environmentally friendly.
Gas is pretty clean burning. But after all you are burning fossil fuel (very old, stored carbon). And that old carbon that we burn today can not be sustained by our plants today that should make in back into oxygen. So by heating our water with gas or electricity we have carbon emissions that therefore lead to global warming.
That is why you should consider solar water heating instead of clean-gas or electric water heating. The process is simple, the sun heats the water in high tech solar-tubes. We then store that hot water in a big tank for future use. So you can shower at night.
So before you start thinking about that 35k solar photo voltaic system, you should look into to solar water or pool heating systems and installations that can go for as little as 2500.00 if you self install. San Diego Solar
