An Introduction To Solar Hot Water Heaters

In colder climates, solar hot water heaters can have some use if you have many sunny days. The key to being able to take advantage of a solar hot water heater is in the amount of solar power available, not the outdoor temperature. The first solar water heater I ever saw was installed in a sunroom of a mountain chalet and not only heated the water for household use, but lowered heating costs for the house as well. The ingenious design consisted of four clear tubes inside of a glass case and was the sole source of hot water for the house. The heat retained by the water also kept the sunroom warmer to allow the growing of plants not usually seen in that climate. There are many ways to install a solar hot water heater for use with your current hot water heating system. Solar hot water heaters are easy projects for home hobbyists to undertake.
