Environmentally Friendly Solar Powered Water Heaters
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Guy_J_Morris]Guy J Morris
According to the popular saying the greatest thing so far is sliced bread, it's what we use as a yardstick to compare other things. If you like something a lot then you may say that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. This makes you assume that there has been very little advancement since they learnt to slice bread by machines. Personally I think the saying should be changed to "The greatest thing since solar powered heaters".
Go back a few hundred years and if you wanted a hot bath you needed to either find a hot spring, or bathe next to a volcano. If you were rich then you could have people to heat up the water for you. Think about it now, you turn on a tap and hot water pours into your bath, you don't have to think about it.
Most hot water systems use gas, or electricity which is a non renewable form of energy. You could help the environment by using solar powered hot water heating systems.
Be Kind to the Environment, What's it ever done to you?!
Global warming has received a lot of coverage recently; scientists are trying to convince us to reduce the amount of pollution we all produce. They say even tiny changes can make things better. Just small things that you can do such as walking more often, taking the bus or recycling can improve the health of the planet, it's amazing really! By doing these small things we can preserve our planet for the younger generation, who would argue against that? Even if just one person in every town converts their heating to solar power, that's still thousands of solar powered heaters worldwide.
The most common reason people convert to solar heating technology is because it's inexpensive compared to paying for heating costs. You will never have to pay to heat your water ever again. There are lots of companies out there that can provide you with everything you will need to convert your heating system to run on solar power.
Which one should I choose?
A solar powered water heater is quite a large expense; it's by no means cheap. You must do some research before you consider buying such a unit, it pays to learn all about these units before you splash out on one. It's also important to check out the company that you are buying the system from, check their returns policy, privacy policy and any warranty information.
You might even get a tax break or other incentives for converting your home to run on solar power. If you are planning to take out a loan to do such a renovation then you should get a written quote to take to the bank.
You can [http://www.insidewoodworking.com/jigs/index.html ]buy solar powered water heaters in many different sizes and shapes, this makes them suitable for different applications. Solar heaters are normally very expensive. However you will never have to pay fuel costs to power such a heater. A solar powered water heater should pay for itself over time as you don't need to pay for hot water again.
