Solar-Hot Water

On average, if you install a solar water heater, your water heating bills should drop 50% - 80%. Also, because the sun is free, you're protected from future fuel shortages and price hikes. Other financial incentives include:

• Anticipated payback period of 3 to 7 years.
• Solar energy systems can take advantage of the sun's free energy year round.
• Solar energy can be produced even at low temperatures.
• Federal tax credits help pay 30% of the cost, plus an additional 35% up to 2500 here in GA.
  
• Between tax credits and energy savings, this system offers a faster return on your investment than other solar energy systems.
• Lower first-time start up cost than solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
