Solar Water Heating Systems for Residents of Tampa, FL
By investing in a solar water heating system for your home in Tampa, Florida, you can say “goodbye” to sky-high water heating bills forever. Solar water heaters – which also go by the name solar domestic hot water systems – harness the energy of the sun and use it to heat water in a natural, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly manner. While generally on the expensive side upfront, solar water heating systems are actually
cheaper to own than conventional systems over the long term. That’s because the fuel that they use – sunshine – is free. And while solar water heaters can be used in any climate, they are particularly cost-effective here in Tampa where sunshine is abundant year-round.
The amount of money you will actually save by having a
solar water heating system installed in your home will depend on a couple of different factors. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the principal research arm of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the more hot water your family uses on a daily basis, the more money you’ll save by making the switch to solar energy. A study undertaken by the Florida Solar Energy Center found that switching from an electric water heater to one that principally uses solar energy can result in a 50 to 80 percent overall utility bill savings.
