Solar Hot Water ... it really works

Sun, 2005-08-28 12:33 — joemoraca


Why don't I see these everywhere? I had a solar hot water system in my previous house outside of Gainesville. It was designed and installed by me!! I would estimate it was hot from the sun 98% of the days and the temp was superhot most of the time. You have to install a mixing valve to mix cold water with it to keep it from coming out burning hot.

Here is a link about solar hot water.

I currently do have a solar pool heater as my pool is mostly in the shade of big oaks..

Wired news on Solar Industry

Solar Power Biz Heats Up

Drive through even the sunniest parts of the nation today, and you probably won't see more than a smattering of roofs decked out with solar panels.

But with heating costs projected to rise sharply this winter, demand for electricity swelling and tax incentives for solar-powered homes taking effect, rooftop panels are likely to become a much more common sight in coming years. For solar-minded investors, that could be a good thing.
