D-I-Y Solar Tools
Solar water heaters are energy efficient, and make good dollars and sense.
By installing a solar water heater you can expect that your water heating bills will decrease by as much as 50%–80%.
Actual savings will depend on:
- The amount of hot water you use
- Your system’s performance
- Your geographic location and solar resource
