Is It Worth Investing in a Solar Hot Water System?
More and more Australian home and business owners are moving away from costly and environmentally damaging energy sourced through fossil fuels from traditional energy providers. Instead, they are opting for the clean, free energy offered by the sun through solar power systems installed directly on their property, proving especially beneficial when needing to heat water.
A solar hot water system offers a simple, efficient process of capturing energy from the sun to heat water for your daily usage. It deploys collector panels installed on the roof to gather and then transfer energy to the circulating fluid inside, so you can store collected hot water for future use in an insulated tank.
This process alone shows just how easily solar hot water system installation can help to reduce grid-energy consumption, slash your ongoing energy bills, and help save the planet through a reduced carbon footprint. In this article, the team at Australian Energy Upgrades explore in more detail the benefits of a solar hot water system, and why it is a sound investment for your property.
Benefits of Using Solar Hot Water
- The energy required to heat water ranks as the second-largest source of household greenhouse emissions in Australia, and the products used for it also stand as the second-largest energy-consuming household appliance. Aside from cutting costs within your personal utility bills, a solar hot water system helps eradicate these harmful statistics causing such damage to our environment.
- The efficiency of hot water systems allows the production of more energy per square metre, maximising this great solar investment.
- For the same reason, solar hot water can operate on a relatively smaller roof space, which is ideal if you own a smaller property.
- As the original solar energy storage device, a hot water system can store energy in the form of hot water. You can maximise its operation both day and night by preserving resources for later use.
- You can cut your utility bills and emissions further by combining solar hot water with solar power. The battery storage is a timely plus.
