Solar Hot Water Heaters – DIY Solar Water Panel – You Can Help Yourself Too

By admin

A DIY Solar Water Panel offers long-term benefits that go beyond simple economics. In addition to having virtually free hot water after the system has paid for itself in reduced power bills, you and your family will be protected from future fuel shortages and price jumps.

You will also be doing something really positive to reduce the dependence on oil and other fossil fuels. Many reports show that adding a homemade solar water heater to an your home can raise the selling price of any home by at least the cost of a commercially bought system. If you build your own solar water heating the increase in house value is costing you virtually nothing in the process.

Doing Your Bit for The Enviroment.

Homemade Solar Water Heaters do not create pollution. By building a solar heater, you will not be producing carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, and many other air pollutants and particulates which are created when your power company produces power or you burn fossil fuels in your domestic system to heat your water.

If you build a heater to replace an electric water heater, the electricity reduction over say, 20 years represents more than 50 tons of produced carbon dioxide emissions as just one example. As we all know carbon dioxide is the main 'greenhouse gas' contributing to global warming, saving this much emission in your own household is truly staggering.

You Can Help Yourself Too.

Prior to planning or building any DIY Solar Hot water Panel,it makes an awful lot of sense to make your home more energy efficient in the first place. Taking steps to use less hot water and to lower the temperature of the hot water you use reduces the size and cost of the DIY Solar Water Panel you will need. Good first steps are installing low flow shower heads or flow restrictors in shower heads and faucets, insulating your water heater and storage tank,insulating any hot water pipes that go through unheated areas. If you your dishwasher is equipped with its own separate water heater,lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F (49°C).

The Future Looks Sunny.

A DIY Solar Water Panel represents a very small investment that will save you money and energy for many years to come. Like many other renewable energy sources, DIY solar water panels really minimize the environmental effects of modern life and enjoying a comfortable,lifestyle. Also,they offer insurance against future energy price increases,reduce your dependence on your utility company, and are a real investment in yours and future generations.
